The food here in New York is incredible. Whether it cheap food at the corner, or a fancy restaurant, you can almost always know the quality is going to be very high (unless you're in China Town :) ). This week is restaurant week in New York which means you can go to all the fancy restaurants and have a set $35 dinner. We went to "One If By Land, Two if By Sea" which was a really nice, fancy restaurant. The food was very, very good. It was worth around $35. I couldn't have imagined paying the normal $70.
The one thing I haven't found yet is mexican food. I know I won't be able to find Taqueria Cancun burritos here, but so far I haven't found anything good. Grant raves about Chipotle but I refused to go, mostly because I don't eat fast food anymore, but also because I don't want to support McDonalds. But I went to their website and there was a picture of an avocado, and I was hooked. Plus they seemed fresh and healthy.
We went to Chipotle and I was surprised that the burrito was $7.50! Then i was *shocked* when guacamole was an extra $1.50!! I miss Taqueria Cancun.
I pulled out my laptop to look up something, and decided to check the nutritional info on Chipotle. After fighting their stupid flash website, I found a neato calorie calculator. My chicken burrito, with *no cheese, no sour cream, no guacamole* had 1100 calories!?!? What?!
The website also gave me this great bit of HTML to put in my "AIM profile or blog" so here it is.
My burrito has 36g of fat, and 1067 calories. How about yours?
