I dare the Times to give this first new real China cuisine restaurant less than three stars. I have no photo of the best dim sum I have ever had and the clay pot chicken was superb but I have no picture of the spicy prawns...because you cant photograph magical disappearing food. There is a picture of the caramelized banana and peanut butter deconstruction and some day i will find the strength to describe the perfect Albarino. Oh i loved the bar tender from Arizona and the wait person from South Africa and the somolier.
from another time...but I really liked walking through this incredible space guided places you only needed to pass if the guide wanted to be sure you had a peak at every fantastic angle. Find the door by spotting the calligraphy and swoop in for the mystery tour and taste trip. And vegi lovers will love it too.
observations on restaurants and food ..from brooklyn to Long Beach ,Ca. Find the best before the rest.

Mesa Coyoacan...crossing the BQE
tamarind margarita |
veg enchilada |
M Noodle |
Biergarten |
Nite Hawk cinema plus |
Diner before crossing Metropolitan |
Bar at Mesa |
pollo pipian |
enchilada |
The walk after dinner brought us to M Noodle a reminder of the perfect order at the window Chinese dumpling and noodle spot in Wash DC that was the perfect late night fuel station.
We had also heard about the Nitehawk Cinema on the N side but had never seen it with its bars and food
companions. There was a beer hall we vowed to try and some great shops in the new Williamsburgh (new every year). We also craved Sel De Mer (next to Mesa) and Oak Wine Bar, Carmines Pizzeria, and the hoppin "gwynnett st " which just earned 2* from the nyt.
unfortunately no loner a bakery but the is one south of this one, but still a great sign and front |
