Costa Rican Food
I spend a most lovely vacation in costa. Def hit the Central Market, and go to the Ceviche stands- best cheapest and most authentic. the Central Market was my favorite part of San Jose. Comida Tipicos is incredible- you will be come addicted to gallo pinto.
Tamarindo has many lovely restaurants, with fish right off the boat
In san jose, there is a great restaurant near the folk art open market I will have to check my notes at home and post again. Every thing is just so fresh- be sure to try as many bebidas (fruit shakes) as you can- my favorite ended up being papaya w/milk.. man i want to go back.
Creole/cajun in NYC?
Delta Grill on 48 and 9th is my favorite in the city, but also love Great Jones but find them less consistent.
Need a great Italian restaurant in Brooklyn
I second Fiore- tasty, and quite reasonable.
Cook the Book: 'Almost Meatless'
Soyrizo Empanandas with black olives, potato and hard boiled egg cubes, drained muir glen fire roasted tomato and chilis, onion and black beans. So tasty, and can be eatern on the run!
Specialty Mexican Market in NYC?
Manhattan Ave in between Huron and Green
Specialty Mexican Market in NYC?
There is a great little market on manhattan ave in greenpoint- not mexican per se, (I think more El Salvadorian) but they have achiote, good queso fresco, a myriad of dried peppers- plus great prices on staple produce such as tomatoes, tomatillos, peppers, onions, cactus, etc.
What are your favorite products from Trader Joe's?
I have had to walk out of the Union Square TJ's the last two times I attempted to go; it is just not a possible task to even navigate the isles, much less wait out the line. And i am jonesing. I am going to attempt the brooklyn store (I live in BK, but it is easier to just take the L) this weekend. Love the place, but you really need infinite patience to deal with the Union Square store.
Fast-Food Oatmeal: The Good, the Bland, and the Goopy
Trader joes frozen- or go the route of making a big batch and freezing in individual servings (just press it down into your palm to make it a disk) easy to prepare and much better than instant.
Polish Food in Greenpoint, Brooklyn?
Whatever the place is called on the river side of greenpoint ave after manhattan passed the catering/dance hall. So Best.
Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
The Plum walnut... best yogurt I have ever tasted.

Cook the Book: 'The Food Life'
Well, quite honestly- Fairway.. Perfect mix of great and varied produce, quality meats, cheeses, great seafood- good spice selection.. olive bar. It is what whole foods should aspire to.
Summer seafood in New York!
None in NYC that I know of, but a great cheap seafood place on LI- SouthShore Fish & Clams is known for their awesome twin lobster platters (21.95) and great half shells, etc.. def the fries/beer environment, but seriously good and simply prepared seafood.
