Angeleno in NYC looking for cheap eats
Hello fellow foodies--
I will be traveling from Los Angeles to visit a friend who lives in Harlem from July 15-22. I am interested in hearing some good picks on cheap ($15-$20) meals that I can take advantage of, B, L or D. I am into all types of cuisine. Also, any restaurant week specials I should definitely not miss? Thanks!!
Sandwich Contest
Make sure to ask for your pastrami hand sliced at Langers -- they used to all come that way, but they recently switched to using a mcahine so you have to ask for hand sliced now. It makes a difference!
I need Filipino food!!
I have been to Barrio Fiesta and really enjoyed it -- I didn't have the crispy pata though, so I must go back and try that. I did almost end up at Fiesta Sa Barrio -- its pretty confusing!
I need Filipino food!!
I have actually had the inihaw baboy there, it was really good...thanks!
I need Filipino food!!
Where can I find good Filipino food in the LA area? I am African American but grew up eating at the restaurant of a Filipino family friend (it was called Nipa Hut and has since closed down), enjoying inihaw baboy, pansit, lumpia etc. (please excuse my spelling) I have tried a couple of places in Eagle Rock but nothing (yet) compares to Nipa Hut. Please help!
Chowing on Clam Chowder
Harold & Belle's Creole restaurant on Jefferson in LA has really good clam chowder. And great New Orleans-style food, like po'boys & fried seafood. Red beans and rice are delicious too. I think I might need to go there tonight!
