8 Old-School Restaurants in NYC That Will Take You Back in Time!

Sofrito Lovers,

The list is pretty interesting and diverse.  Again, I wish there were more uptown spots on this list, besides Sylvia's.  Check out the article below and go taste for yourself!  ¡Buen provecho!

8 Old-School Restaurants in NYC That Will Take You Back in Time 

These restaurants have been serving fried chicken, spicy curry, and other specialties for decades

One of New York City’s greatest pleasures is finding restaurants that have been around for a long, long time. The antique decor, traditional service, and list of nearly forgotten dishes whets the appetite, and the prices are often very reasonable or even cheap for massive portions — especially compared to other white-tablecloth restaurants of the same cuisine — as if amending the bill of fare had been forgotten over the years.

In 2015 Eater NY did a series of articles about these sorts of places, of which many are now sadly gone. But some happily persist, and here’s a selection of the best. So put on your taffeta dress or tweed sport coat and pay a visit.

Note: Restaurants on this list are arranged geographically, north to south.

11 Things You Probably Don't Know About Avocados!

  

Sofrito Lovers,

Avocados have become all the rage!  From toast to new and improved guacamole recipes,  avocado consumption has sky rocketed within American culinary culture.

As this fruit's popularity increases, people are becoming aware of the incredible health benefits from having some aguacate (avocado in Spanish) from time to time.  Coming from a culture that eats lots of avocados I can say that this little super fruit really packs a punch of nutritional value and tastes incredible.

Check out the Mashed video below and learn a little bit about, what some folks are calling, Hipster fruit...God, I wish I could punch whoever started that  stupid ass trend.

Watch and then: Go taste for yourself!  ¡Buen provecho!

A look at Harlem’s new craft beer bar

Harlem has a new proudly black-owned craft beer bar from Kevin Bradford, Kim Harris, and Stacey Lee called Harlem Hops located at 2268 Seventh Ave., between 133rd and 134th streets. The bar has 16 taps, serving a diverse array of locally brewed beers -- from goses to Mexican-style lagers. A lit-up Harlem sign looms over the long bar, and the space has tables for larger groups, too. As with any great beer destination, there’s a backyard. A small menu of sausages and spicy pies is also available. On its opening day earlier this month, there reportedly was a line down the block from 4 p.m. until midnight. "We want our young people to see that we are black people that own a business in Harlem. And we want to be a reflection to them of what they can do," Lee told Grub Street.
