The Nameless East Village Restaurant

Okay, all your snickering about the stupid names of different shops and restaurants can be put to good use: Name an East Village restaurant! The Post reports that the two owners of an Israeli cuisine restaurant are offering $2,500 in cash to anyone who comes up with a name for their restaurant. Located at Third Avenue between St. Marks and 9th Street/Stuyvesant, the restaurant aims to serve "fresh food, perfect for those looking for a quick, inexpensive (under $5.00) and healthy meal." Submit your suggestions at name-our-restaurant.com.
