Epazote: A Brand New Mexican Eatery On The Upper East Side – NYC
|
I love a good Mexican Restaurant but in my experience, I have not been to one recently in my neighborhood of Yorkville that gave Mexican food justice. However, that changed recently when Epazote opened.  The “Los Taquitos” , mine was the De Ternera Bohemia ($14) made with veal cheek and braised in beer, Poblado peppers, cilantro and sweet onions was delicious and a must have.  Our main course was the “Polo Con Mole” ($24) which was very flavorful and the mole sauce was fantastic. It consisted of roasted chicken skin and all, bathed in homemade mole sauce served with a side of spinach souffle, a touch of France.  Epazote has a good dessert menu that offers way more than traditional flan which is usually the case in a Mexican restaurant. We were offered a Gala Apple Crumb Tart ($9) with jalapeño chocolate ice cream and Homemade churos ($7) served with Mexican abuelita chocolate sauce.

HipsSister: The reinvention of the fanny pack is here and it’s good!!! @HipssisterUS
|
Old school fanny packs are anti-fashion as we know it, even though they are attempting a comeback now. However, recently I discovered these fashionable and functional hip bands that are well designed to fit your phone, keys, etc. and are not at all bulky. They come in different widths and colors depending on whether you want to use them while you run or just feeling like being handsfree for the day. Runners have testified that they actually stay in place and not bounce around. I like the fact that they are pretty seamless and not really visible under clothes. The reversible ones are my favorites because you get two hip bands in one. For more info or to shop visit http://www.hipssister.com |
