Restaurants in the East Village I like (roughly by street, not preference) (Restaurant Review):

[Tokyo La Men] asian [University Ave]/11thSt
[Patsys Pizza] University/10thSt - thin-crust pizza, good arugula salad
[Saigon Grill] University/12thSt - Vietnamese, quite good - good for mid-sized Geek Dinner-s because typically has lots of space, and reasonably priced food.
Spice [University Ave]/10thSt - Thai
Danal 10thSt./3rdAve - goat-cheese/veg tarts, pork chops, etc.
- argh moved a bit farther away
Sharaku Japanese 3rdAve/9thSt - good basics
John's Italian 12thSt/2ndAve - kinda old-school but pretty good and reasonable
[Hip Hop Chow] - 2ndAve/[StMarks]- asian-influenced bbq/[Comfort Food]
- Dec'2007: dang it closed!
Veselka 2ndAve/9thSt - diner/brunch - yum blintzes
[Holy Basil] 2ndAve/9thSt - Thai
[La Palapa] 1stAve/[StMarks] - pricey Mexican - excellent braised-Lamb
[Noho Star] Lafayette/Bleeker - both their US and Chinese meals are excellent
Hearth 1stAve/12thSt - high-end
[Miracle Grill] 1stAve/7thSt - my favorite tex-mex, outdoor back garden, have the catfishTaco
- Jul'2007 - just discovered this has changed to "Imagine"
- Jun'2008 - just passed the space, and now there's nothing operating there!
Lavagna/[Le Tableau] - 5thSt/[AveA] - Lavagna is more Italian, [Le Tableau] has more Mediterranean/[Middle Eastern] influences
- Sept'2006 - the chef died, but the restaurant is being run by his wife.
- Lavagna is still in operation, but [Le Tableau] has closed down, and new owners are running [Seymour Burton] there
would like to try:
- Mancora (Peruvian) http://newyork.citysearch.com/review/40847769
  - Dec'2007: tried it, wasn't impressed at all (though I didn't have the chicken)

A little further away (e.g. north of 14thSt, or South of Houston, or west of 5thAve):

Perilla z2007-12-28- Thrilla At Perilla awesome
[Dos Caminos] - [Park Ave So]/27th - fancy Mex, excellent guac; a little loud for my taste
Nha Trang in [China Town]
