A Spoonful of Sofrito: A pinch of advice that will add a lot of flavor to your life.
5 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in NYC!
Sofrito Lovers,
Sometimes, I don't have the time to plan a proper foodie weekend and I leave things up in the air. I find the universe's refusal to leave me in the lurch amazing, just when I think I have nothing to do I get an email from Eater.com recommending some delicious eateries to explore!
Check out the article below and flush out your last minute foodie plans like I'm doing! Will I try Spicy Moon in the East Village? Or, will I visit The Bronx Ale House? I'm not sure yet, but the possibilities are clearer and very enticing.

For very good chicken fingers: I’m on a mission to publish a chicken finger map, and this week I encountered some that will definitely make the cut. If you too are a chicken finger fiend, head to Upper East Side pub Merrion Square for a standout version alongside a ton of beer. The ones here are ultra-thin and ultra-crispy — I’m talking nearly flat, making them a little bit more about the breading than the chicken, which I’m not mad about. My only qualm is the french fries — which while available in waffle, curly, and sweet potato — don’t come in skinny, my favorite. 1840 Second Ave., at 95th Street, Upper East Side — Stefanie Tuder, senior editor
For a jaunt on the PATH to praiseworthy global fare: Marcus Samuelsson’s Marcus B & P has been open a little over a year northwest of downtown Newark, and has established quite a following. It’s not a bad walk (or a cheap cab ride) from the PATH station to the comfortable restaurant that seems decades older than its actual age. The giant fried chicken platter is a tour de force, and even the cornbread, with its giant schmear of butter on the side, is praiseworthy. But the chef doesn’t stick to soul food. The dorowat rigatoni adapts the Ethiopian national dish, while a jerk cauliflower, hemmed in with lentils, provides a new take on a Jamaican dish. 56 Halsey St., between New and Bleeker streets, Newark, NJ — Robert Sietsema, senior critic
