EaterWire: L'Asso's Pizza Guide, BBurg's Pizza Place/Knife Shop, and More

2008_09_knifepizza.jpgNOLITA— Watch out Slice—pizza places are now getting into the editorial game. Nolita pizza joint L'asso is launching the "L'Asso Pizza Guide" as an insert in the October 9th Onion (and are even throwing a launch party for it). Sadly, it's not satire, though we're hoping it will offer a little more than mere advertising space for the restaurant. They promise the guide will be a "humorous and informational guide to pizza– from its humble beginnings in ancient times to its current incarnation as one of the world’s favorite foods." [EaterWire]

WILLAMSBURG— The above knives can be found at Williamsburg's $1 slice joint Eden. According to a tipster and Eden regular, one of the workers sells them on the side and notes they're perfectly legal. Just something to keep in mind. [EaterWire]

EaterWire Midday Edition: Colin Alevras to Open 'La Otra' in The East Village

2008_06_colinalveras.jpgEAST VILLAGE— Many fans of Colin Alevras, the locavore chef behind the Tasting Room, were justifiably upset when they found out he had shuttered his Nolita restaurant without any warning three weeks ago. They bemoaned the closure on the blogs, they held a formal mourning dinner at Astor Center. Well, if it's any consolation TR fanatics, Colin Alevras won't be out of the kitchen for very long. We hear from inside sources that he will be opening up a new Cuban restaurant, to be called La Otra, in the space of an East Village restaurant that has yet to close. Stay tuned as we'll be keeping an eye out for some EVill shutters over the next couple weeks.
