Lady Things and Guacamole

Yesterday my friend and I made the lovely trek (no sarcasm, it’s actually a nice walk) from Hunter to the Macaulay building for one of the several author events that they hold. Last night they hosted the founder of Jezebel (the website) and other writers and producers for the website, which my friend and I happen to be HUGE fans of, so we decided to go and listen in. What can be bad about lady things and other aspects of life that apply to you in a humorous fashion. My friend and I have been going to a lot of talks recently to hear how successful people get their starts and where they come from and etc etc. And also for the occasional dessert.

After the event we sprinted from the building to Starbucks because it was freezing last night and neither of us were prepared. We were starving, and having almost no knowledge of the area’s eating establishments, we decided to go back to a Mexican restaurant right across from Lincoln Center that we had gone to for restaurant week last winter. The place is decently pricey, but here’s the catch, we only spent $13 each. Tax and tip included! And it was a good tip.

We split their signature guacamole, but it’s not just any guacamole. They prepare it fresh right in front of your table. The avocados, tomatoes, jalapeños, cilantro, onions, it is literally bliss in a stone bowl. You get a side of red sauce and green sauce, both spicy of course, which was fantastic for my sinuses. The guac comes with homemade tortilla chips, as well as warm tortillas, so you can create whatever odd concoction your heart desires. Yes, I made a taco loaded with hot sauce, guac and chips, and it was fantastic.  With all this, we also ordered a side of sweet plantains and ice-cold tap water, which we sipped slowly to help fill us up. Our stomachs hung over our pants as we walked out the door, but our wallets still had money left in them. Can’t get better than that.
