You tell me when you’re there and I’ll definitely come back up to try Cava’s tapas.

Marchesa of Mustard,
After the holidays sounds great.

"Anonymous" was I. The Marquis and I would be down for some divey but delicious Thai (probably after the holidays/New Year), if you've got a place that outshines Sripraphai. We always appreciate a good greasy spoon, from whatever part of the world its cuisine might hail. Ah, yes. “Anonymous” was I.

I'm always looking for new recommendations as long as they're reasonably priced. You've heard about the new Sripraphai in Williston Park, correct? thanks for the Thai invite a few weeks back, btw. I would definitely be game to join you and the marchese for some Thai delicacies. We'll have to go to a different place though, I've found a place that's better than Sri. Smaller, more divey but much tastier and fresher food. Marchesa,

I haven't tried them, but the Berkshire pork and chorizo tacos sound pretty darn good. In your absence, I've been staying on top of things...let me know if you're looking for recs of restaurants to review. Indeed, it seems the crack team at NYMag beat you to it!

Next, check out Cascabel Taqueria on 80th & 2nd. I would say it attempts to capture the essence of Mexican street food, but not the authenticity (the dishes are fairly traditional, but they feature some unconventional flavor profiles and mostly healthy, organic ingredients, like quinoa instead of rice). Still, any place that serves elote asado is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. FoodGuy, you seem to have tapped into a nascent trend of Lucha Libre-themed taquerias opening up in Manhattan.
