On My Grind: Spitzer's Corner & Kuma Inn

Before heading over to the show last night, we stopped off at a couple of places nearby on the Lower East Side.

First stop was Spitzers Corner, a new upscale beer hall on Rivington & Ludlow. This place has a ton of great beer on tap and a gourmet pub menu. We made our way past the beautiful people loitering outside and snagged a seat at one of the long picnic style tables inside. Beers were ordered and pork-fat popcorn(!!!) was eaten. Then it was off to the next place. Spitzy's, we'll visit you again another time soon.

For dinner we walked a block or two over to Kuma Inn , an out-of-the-way, second story Asian tapas joint. Since it was BYOB, we stopped off at the bodega along the way to snag a few Sapporos's to drink with dinner. Without getting into too many details, this place is great. Incredibly delicious small plates, good service, shockingly inexpensive bill, and refrigerating my beers until needed - perfect. We'll be back
