third avenue between 10th and 11th has a lot of good restaurants. derek and i have walked this block many times. although apiary has a very cute logo (with little bees), it looks a little out of place in the east village. you think evill, you think cheap eats. this place isn't cheap. it is, however, very good with excellent vegetarian options. (a nice contrast to casa mono).

vanita, jenny, and i had a fun girls night out. this place has excellent cocktails - not too sweet and with a good kick. we all started with the corn veloute (pictured). the chilled corn soup was excellent - with very fresh ingredients. for our entrees, i had the asparagus with mushroom sauce (which was very rich, but delicious), vanita had the veggie platter which was very good, and jenny had the chicken - also very good. i liked the atmosphere of this place, chill but upscale. the waiter was extremely attentive and friendly. great location, great food - we'll be back.
