Miltomates (a.k.a. Purple de Milpa)
Is it possible to buy miltomates (also known as "purple de milpa") anywhere in or around New York City? I can't seem to find any vendors, yet the item really makes for a fabulous ingredient in southern Mexican cooking.
Newport Beach Restaurant Suggestions?
Thank you all for the suggestions. In reviewing the menus I think that R&D Cafe and Fleming's sound as though they'll be the best choices. One night will be just myself, the evening after having arrived in California earlier that day. The next night will be with my wife; she will have arrived earlier that second day. We're not looking to stay out too long since we're both leaving the next day on a morning train on our way back to the East Coast.
Newport Beach Restaurant Suggestions?
We're staying two nights at the Island Hotel, adjacent to the Fashion Island shopping center, in Newport Beach, Calif. What are some good restaurant choices, if any, within walking distance of the hotel? I will be on an expense account that will cover reasonable costs for dinner. No fast food, vegetarian, or seafood please. Ethnic and spicy cuisines enjoyed.
Magna Ristorante
This Italian restaurant opened recently in the Wingate hotel in Flushing, Queens (32-25 Farrington Street). Has anyone visited it and have a report? The restaurant's advertised website, www.magnaristorante.com does not seem to be working yet, and so I don't even know what's on the menu.
