Restaurant Recommendation!

"Lima's Taste"
432 E. 13th St (between Ave. A and 1st Ave.) (212) 228-7900

According to The Economist, Peruvian food is the new, big thing. I decided to find out for myself and found this restaurant, courtesy of Zagat, right in my neighborhood! I have to tell you, this was a great experience. Typical of the best NYC restaurants, it was tiny, crowded, loud with chatter and laughter, and decorated in a charmingly gaudy fashion. But of course, what really matters is the food, and this was great!! Try the picante. A mixed seafood dish with a spicy sauce, served on rice. My roommate, kept gushing how it was "just that perfect spiciness, where it's hot, but you can still eat it and enjoy it." Despite my quest to try every small restaurant in Manhattan, we've already frequented this place three times (well, once for take-out). And oh, don't forget the sangria!! You'll be singing its praises for hours, much to others' annoyment. If you go, tell Jason the owner, that The Economist Girl sent ya!
