Tacoria is a casual Mexican restaurant that opened on Washington street, where Frankie and Ava used to be. As you enter, you cannot not miss the decor that would make you think that this place has been there for a while with the graffiti and run down walls. You are right away attracted to the colorful mural of Frank Sinatra’s mugshot, as well as the neon lights, on the ceiling and main wall (Te Amo Hermosa - I love you Beautiful).

I discovered Queen of Sheba, an Ethiopian restaurant located few blocks from the heart of Times Square, several years ago and was really looking forward to go back there. There, Chef Philipos Mengistu, who worked at his parents restaurant in Addis Abeba in the early 1970's, crafted a menu inspired from family recipes with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The best way to discover the food is by trying their samplers: it is what we did!
