Mogador on St. Mark's bet 1st Avenue and Avenue A is pretty good and affordable.

Just make your own. Invest a bit on machinery and you will never have to make a line for good coffee again, plus you will save so much money too. No more guys wearing fedoras at Stumptown serving you coffee.

Was it only me, or does anyone else thinks this event was a total rip off?

The overall quality of the food was pretty bad. Lasagna at Max, cold....Kuma Inn, closed by 6:30, Gazpacho at Despaña, too salty and unedible. I liked most of the Asian Restaurants, but I felt like a fool paying $44 for what is basically an app at a Sunset Park Chinese. Oh well.

JFYI, the young coconut pie at Purple Yam is not exactly what you are looking for (layered cake), but you should try it anyway, it's totally amazing.

Oh no! The secret is out!

Yes, I've been seeing it on a lot of tables, but usually eaten by white people. The Chinese locals are usually having soups or duck.

Why would you go here....This place sounds horrible. Might as well get a seafood and cocktails somewhere else.

I never had this growing up in Caracas, although I always heard that people in Maracaibo ate gigantic plantain discs. Will have to go to Elmhurst to try it out!

Well, there's enough room for both. I'm an immigrant living in one of those yuppie-scum neighborhoods and I visit both the quirky Vietnamese sandwich counters and Marlow & Sons.....there's an occasion for everything. I'm glad that both can coexist side by side.

I believe Masarepa is for making Colombian arepas, a totally different beast more akin to the Mozzarepas you see in NY Street Fairs.
Harina P.A.N is the way to go!

I agree with chips. I checked out like a month ago and liked the Mushroom and Wurst combo....but at $13 it was pretty small. I felt a bit ripped off.
