Last week, hip downtown restaurant Cafe Select sent a letter to friends and regulars asking them to help in obtaining a sidewalk cafe license. And it worked! Now Westville East is following suit. An Eater correspondent there for brunch over the weekend notes that a new sign on the door asks diners to sign their petition or email Community Board 3 to support them in their quest for sidewalk action, while also stating, “Some mean spirited neighbors say we are trying to profit off their sidewalk, we are part of the community …” Meanwhile, employees asked the overflow crowd and seated customers to sign, and inside the bartender told the tale of a CB3 attendee who stood up at the last meeting and said Westville makes her fear for her life.

Last week, a regular of the sweet Village bar Gottino wrote in to report that Jody Williams , its chef, has left the restaurant, saying, “I can’t confirm 100%, but I live in the neighborhood and eat in Gottino several times a week. And, alas, Jody must have done her crazy self in again, because she’s nowhere to be seen around Greenwich Ave.” Her co-owner Michael Bull, who is involved in a major lawsuit with Williams, told Eater last week that all was well, that they were working things out, that she was still “involved” and in the kitchen. It’s interesting timing actually, because their case, in which Bull accuses Williams of misappropriating $95,000, is being heard today in a New York court.

On Friday, it was kind of cute to see that the folks behind Mia Dona were looking on the bright side of Sam Sifton’s recent brutal goose egg review. They took the one positive quote about the place—that the meatballs are “terrific”—and put it on a dry erase sandwich board . The above bitter ‘Siftonade’ signage that now graces the restaurant is not quite as cute

John Mariani, the Esquire critic that is lambasted in Anthony Bourdain’s upcoming book Medium Raw , has this to say about the No Reservations host : “…however concocted most of his accusations are…what is most disturbing is that Bourdain…seems to have lost all ability to construct a single paragraph without using the words ‘douche bag,’ ‘asshole,’ and ‘fuck,’ which you expect from illiterate, ever-anonymous food bloggers but not from the once-stylish Bourdain.

Three month’s after its opening, the gimmicky, Midtown novelty K! Pizzacone has its first real, professional review. And it’s in the New Yorker of all places. Why, when there is finite review space, would they focus on a place that was only frequented by non-tourists for about one day ?

In today’s Metropolitan Diary, a New Yorker is stopped on the street and asked , “‘Do you know where the Polka Dot Cow is ?’ I had to admit I had never heard of it, but they persisted, adding that it was supposed to be a very good ‘burger joint.’ I thought for a bit and asked if they meant the Spotted Pig . They lit up with recognition and said, ‘Yes, that’s it!’ The three of us shared a loud laugh.” [NYT]
