Miller's inspiration comes from a variety of experiences. "When I was coming up, it was a time when Spain was influencing cooking throughout the world," he says. "That and the fact that Spanish was spoken in kitchens made me want to study abroad in Spain in college. When I was there, I realized the experience of eating in Madrid is not really available in New York."
So he built it, giving an East Village space a revamp to make it feel old — "We want people to feel like they've been here before," he explains …

The weeks before Easter are now the market’s busiest time of year, as this vestige of the old community continues to draw customers, many who once lived nearby, or who worshiped at St. George Ukrainian Catholic Church. Long departed from the neighborhood, they, or their families, now travel hours to shop for holiday fare they say is difficult to find elsewhere.
The Tompkins Square Greenmarket will be CLOSED Sunday April 20th, and OPEN tomorrow, Saturday April 19th.
As of now, attending farms will be:
• Stannard Farm
• Meredith's Bread
• Rogowski Farm
• Red Jacket Orchards
Food Scrap Collection 8-1
Textile Recycling 8-4
Permits indicate the development will span 34,055 square feet, with the bulk of the project dedicated to residential use. 8,456 square feet will be given to ground-floor retail, while the remaining 25,599 square feet will be divided between 27 units. 75 First Avenue will stand 80 feet in total.
The facade responds to the contradictory fire codes for the building envelope. The east façade can freely open up, maximizing natural daylight. The glass on the north facade is a gradient of glazing apertures, each floor changing the percentage of opening from low to high corresponding to more sought-after views above and more stringent fire ratings below. The roof HVAC bulkheads are clad in a metal lattice framework for a vertical garden, adding desirable lushness and evaporative cooling to the roof deck.
Our menu comes from New York's farmers markets, Long Island fishing boats, country fields and the wondrous meanderings of spirited travelers with passionate palates. We're crushing seafood, roasted meats, crazy good wine and cocktails. We present a wine list broad enough for you to come by and enjoy wine with us every night or you can order something you can't get anywhere else in the world. We're Italian influenced, American executed and entirely New York.
HOWL! Arts Inc. regrets to announce that due to unforeseen circumstances HOWL! Festival 2014 originally scheduled for May 30 through June 1 has been postponed. New dates will be announced as soon as available.
For more than a century, the East Village has been home to poets, jazz musicians, Vaudeville and Yiddish theatre, artists, rock stars, performance artists and diverse communities who have added their rich cultural heritage to the mix. Building on this tradition and inspired by long time East Village resident Allen Ginsberg’s epic poem, HOWL! Festival was founded in 2003 to lionize, preserve, and advance the art, history, culture, and counterculture unique to the East Village and Lower East Side.
“We're a small, all-volunteer organization and we’ve successfully produced the Festival in Tompkins Square Park for the last 12 years.” says HOWL! Board member Bob Holman. “This year the Parks Department permit application process was so complicated and difficult that when we had no conclusive answer by the beginning of April for our Festival in May, we knew we'd run out of time. It's sad is what it is: for the community, for families, and for local artists.”
Named the Village Voice’s Best Outdoor Festival 2011, HOWL! Festival is the quintessential community event dedicated to preserving the past and celebrating the contemporary culture of the East Village and Lower East Side. HOWL! Arts Inc. embraces poet Allen Ginsberg’s insightful, iconoclastic, and irreverent legacy to inspire and galvanize new artists and audiences. Presenting poetry, music, dance, theater, fine art, and intersections of popular culture and artistic expression, HOWL! Festival encourages the public to join in the creative process and to experience first hand the value of a creative life, the heritage of social justice, and the flourishing of diverse cultures that are the signatures of this vital community. For additional information please visit howlfestival.com
HOWL! programs include Art Around the Park, Kids Art Around the Park, the HOWL! Out Loud Kids Carnival and stages which present Ballet, Modern Dance, Tap, Latin Expression and more; Theater, Vaudeville, Performance Art, Poetry, Spoken Word, and Music of all genres.
HOWL! Festival is 100% free for and open to all in what the festival proudly dubs a cash-free zone.
