We love Mexican food here at The Foodies. Guacamole? Yes please. Salsa with a spicy kick? Bring it. Tres Leches cake and crispy, cinnamon sweet churros? We’ll say yes every time. I don’t often shop at The Chestnut Hill Mall; it’s a bit of a schlep from my home. But, I was there a while […]
You say tomayto, I say tomahto. Americans would call this stuff rice pudding, but in Mexico it’s arroz con leche, and it’s much more decadent. For a Mexi night with the girls (you may have noticed this is a frequent occurrence) A-Tooch made this very simple, but slightly time consuming dessert. Oh, and it’s cheap. […]
If A-Tooch had it her way, every night would be Mexican night for dinner. Unfortunately, this leaves no room for pizza, spaghetti or sushi, so I have to limit myself. My old roommate from California used to cook Mexi food quite a bit, so I’ve picked up some of her tricks along the way. When […]
A-Tooch has had a few interesting foodie jaunts recently, worthy of sharing with those of you who are also exploring the NYC restaurant scene. I was excited to spend New Year’s Eve at Empellon in the West Village. The new restaurant lived up to expectations, cooking a variety of flavors and dishes even for the […]
Alert! New(-ish) taco stand in town! A-Tooch went to scope it out in the kinda-random area of City Hall, right near the BK Bridge entrance. Opened not too long ago by the Corona, Queens Tortilleria Nixtamal crew, this stand offers a range of tacos, tamales, nachos and tortas. There’s a handful of tables and benches […]
A-Tooch walked over to La Esquina in SoHo for the first time a few weeks ago to see what all the hype is about. Amazing that this spot has been open for so long AND is a taqueria (my favorite kind of food) and yet I’ve never been. Now, I know I’m taking a risk […]
New York City is packed with weekend brunch options and to be honest, few really stand out. How many different ways can you make eggs or pancakes? A-Tooch and friends wandered into Rocking Horse Cafe — a staple lunch/dinner spot — for Sunday funday brunch recently. I’m not crazy about the all-you-can-drink brunches (mainly because […]
On a last minute whim, A-Tooch scooped up her press pass 1.5 hours into the event and decided to drop into The Village Voice’s 4th Annual Choice Eats. Smartest choice made in a VERY long time. I’ve been to my fair share of foodie events in NYC where a bunch of local known and unknown […]
