Borko just complained that I haven't posted anything in the last 3 times he's checked. I have an hour free this afternoon so I'll try to put up something.
I went to Falai's little restaurant for valentines day this week. It was so good. I feel like it must be the best deal in town (BYOB & nothing over $13). Especially for real italian food. In other words, you won't find the giant plates of pasta that ubiquitously turn up as the affordable main course everywhere else. I loved that they use cabbage to sweeten things. The veal meatballs seemed perfect. We were too full for desert so they gave us free pastries on our way out.
Hopefully the lower east side will stop sucking and more neighborhood places like this won't give into the horde. A few months ago, on the way to my friend's house on orchard street, I overheard two girls on the street that could have come strait from a casting call for Laguna Beach remarking that the neighborhood is "over now." When these two vulturine harbingers of bars full of unfriendly dull people say something sucks maybe it'll start to get good again.

that's cool you got "free pasties"...does the restaurant double as a strip club? Then I'd be really impressed.
