  • Not that you asked, but Tito Puente at S.O.B.'s ringing in the New Year for the last time (2000). We got there just in time for him to look over at us, say "Thank you for coming! Goodnight!" And then he walked off the stage. On to after hours at Ave. C and 3rd St.... Read more
  • Culinary cage match: croquetas

    Did I mention the $4 glass of Borsao? There is absolutely nothing wrong with a $4 glass of wine. Kind of reminds me of the ol' Stop Miami that used to be around the corner [sniff]. For photos of the croquetas at Sra. Martinez (and the duck and foie gras sausage with white beans in a port reduction) please go to http://dailycocaine.blogspot.com/2008/12/michelle-bernstein-threatens-michael.html At this point, to answer a poster's question, I would try Sra.

I have more or less beaten it to death over the past year, and it is very gratifying that one of my readers finally freakin' noticed. You are the best! ... Read more
  • Under deconstruction: Pacific Time

    Did I mention I love the bartenders here?
  • Clink: Sex and the City cocktails

    Why oh why does it have to be Skyy?
  • Culinary cage match

    Not really. There are more guns and drugs on South Beach than in either of these neighborhoods. My sweet cousins from Iowa were able to handle it. I will admit, though, that it takes courage to try something new. In this case, I believe it is worth braving unfamiliar surroundings. ... Read more
  • Dashboard gourmet

    I believe the Rib Guy #2 has relocated back to his original spot in the church parking lot at 46th St. and NW 2nd Ave. He has (or they have) been forgiven...He's there some weekdays, too.... Read more
