Good Veggie Eating.....as I still try to a-mass alot of pork and fried pufferfish points, I had a couple vegge meals this week.
1) Maoz Vegetarian (Union Sq and 8th St) : very good falafal plate what you can cover with many yummy things, not cheap but what is anymore
2) Gaam (11 W 30th) : Vatan which is under re-du opened a 2nd spot, mostly the same, but IMHO a great spot, fresh clean and awesome, best for a group and eat slow, beer goes well with the spice but it fills me up too much, $25 all you can eat on the food side.....

Rock n Bowl NY Style
(ex)Wetlands Owner and Blue Ribbon Owner's Cut A Gruve

Opening a rock club in New York is not as easy as it used to be.
There’s the insane cost of real estate, as well as fierce competition as the battered music industry looks to live performances for steady income, and national promoters expand their reach into smaller spaces.
But hardest of all, said Peter Shapiro, who owned Wetlands in TriBeCa from 1996 until it closed in 2001, is just coming up with a new angle. That’s why he’s excited about Brooklyn Bowl, his spacious new room in Williamsburg. A combination 600-capacity music club and 16-lane bowling alley, it will also have a menu created by Blue Ribbon, a chain of restaurants in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
“To sit at a show, cock your head back, watch a band and then leave, it’s been done,” Mr. Shapiro said. “But to come see a show, do some bowling, eat some French-bread pizza from Blue Ribbon — that hasn’t been done.”

Jean-Georges looks forward to tastings this week for the 50 seat pizzeria he’s doing with Sullivan Street Bakery’s Jim Leahey at 230 Ninth Avenue at 24th street. It’s Jean-George’s first pizzeria venture and Leahy’s first restaurant. Leahey is an icon to purists who admire his style of slow natural fermentation. “I’ve been using his bread for years,” says Vongerichten. About pizza? ”We’ll have our five cents to say,” he said. We being Phil Saurez. “He’s my producer. He did Michael Jackson’s "Thriller." Now he does me.” Vongerichten’s Spice Market is about to open in Doha (Qatar). He’s signed to do a steak house at the Pheonician in Arizona, and is negotiating with a landmark hotel to do a steak house in Manhattan. He won’t say where –“It’s still in negotiation and anything can happen.” Rumors I hear put it on the Upper East Side. ((from Gael Greene))
