New York Street Food

When we first moved into the West Village over 20 years ago, the Hudson River waterfront was a disaster. Used condoms, needles and transvestive hookers were all over the place. Ah, the good old days! In 1998, the NYS Legislature passed the Hudson River Park Act, Now, it's one of the best examples of how to reclaim a waterfront. Excellent...

Not sure of what to get for lunch, but we needed something for the cold. Is Aji de Gallina good for cold weather? Well, we got out of the station at 47th St & 6th Ave, and were reminded immediately. That's right, we've been wanting to try Manos Peruanos again. Having  only been there once before, and enjoying a pretty...

Ever had a really hot Jerk Chicken Platter? Well, we were downtown for lunch yesterday, which is a fairly rare occurrence, but one we wanted to take full advantage of. What better way than to have lunch from Veronica's Kitchen? Veronica's Kitchen is a stalwart of the Financial District, serving lunch on Front St by Pine St for many years....

We've seen Taïm Mobile tweet about their corn jalapeno soup a few times, and this was perfect weather for giving it a try.
