The Hottest Restaurants in Manhattan Right Now!

Sofrito Lovers,

If you still haven't planned out your weekend, then check out the post below from Eater.com and choose a few restaurants to visit!  Foodie adventures are always fun!  I do it all the time!

Although I'm bummed out by the lack of uptown selections, I will say some of the spots they chose to highlight downtown are pretty cool. I'm a long time fan of Public Kitchen (East Village) and Sorbillo Pizza (East Village); I encourage folks to check them out!

More and more, I'm realizing that I need to create my own Uptown lists for you guys!  I'm going to start working on it this weekend!  Go taste for yourself! ¡Buen Provecho!

Coquito Masters Finals!

 

Sofrito Lovers,

It's that time of the year! Yes, folks, the New York Coquito Masters competition is on!  For those of you that don't know, Coquito is a Puerto Rican holiday beverage made with condensed milk, evaporated milk, rum, coconut cream, cinnamon, and copious amounts of rum!  It's like American eggnog, except WAY better!

Every year, the International Coquito Federation hosts the Coquito Masters competition (I refer to it as the Coquito Olympics) to see who makes the best coquito in NYC!  The flavors, preparation, and creativity that go into this competition is no joke!  The competitors go in!

If you love delicious holiday beverages, rum, or coconut cream based drinks, this competition is for you!  Come out on Dec. 16th and enjoy this delicious competition!  Go taste for yourself! ¡Buen provecho!

Description:
