If you have Bon Chon on there, you need to add Kyochon and do a comparative analysis. I can definitely help with this.
Also, check out I Coppi in the EV and Megu Tribeca…
chicken comparison??? done!!!! thanks for the recommendations!
Porsena and Fat Radish are both on my list too! Loves it!
You have to go to Co. and get the Straciatella and Meatball pizza. The bread so great! Also, Niko is great a little on the expensive side (but you really go there for the scene). Be sure to get the octopus and other apps – entrees aren’t as good.
If you haven’t gone yet, hit up Bacaro (and let me know when!)
oh girl… thats been one of my favorite places for the past three years
ill go with you anyday!
