After-school special! 🥣🍚✨

My 9-year-old had a half-day today, and I let him choose our lunch-date destination. He was torn between Tibetan and Colombian food, like any good Jackson Heights native would be. 😆

A sign for ajiaco on Roosevelt caught his eye, and we wound up at @cafetales_nyc, a Colombian restaurant I’ve passed many a time but have never eaten at. It’s a cozy little diner, and we tried the two soup specials of the day (this is always the move at a Colombian restaurant!): ajiaco (a creamy soup thickened by potato, with shredded chicken and corn) and sopa de cuchuco (a corn and pork spine soup, studded with vegs), which was one I’d never tried before.

Both were delicious, and as part of a $13 lunch special came with rice, your meat of choice (chicken breast, pork rib, or grilled steak), plantain, beet salad, and aguapanela (we went for coffee + hot chocolate instead). Huge portions, as is usually the case.

This was a great reminder to myself to eat more Colombian soups this winter! Who else wants to?

The calm before the (holiday) storm …

It’s a time to reflect, give thanks, and drink all the hot drinks!

Pictured is the cozy counter and aguapanela at the new @otmcoffee in Jackson Heights. Over the Moon is a cute and modern Colombian cafe that specializes in @devocionusa coffee and healthy, organic snacks and light meals. I loved the coffee I had earlier in the day—Devoción is seriously good stuff; fresh, smooth, and 100% Colombia-sourced—but didn’t want caffeine in the afternoon, so settled on the aguapanela, which is essentially hot sugarcane water. Traditionally it’s served with fresh white cheese, which you dunk into or steep in the drink. It’s sweet and savory and surprisingly filling!

Here’s wishing everyone a sweet and savory (and safe) Thanksgiving weekend!

Is there a better morning than one that starts at LIC’s southern Italian pastry shop, @cerasellanyc?

The plump bombolone with pistachio cream; the intricately layered, ricotta-filled sfogliatella; the rich chocolate caprese tart—pair any with an espresso, sit in the cozy outdoor space and it’s perfection. We went home with some delicious Nutella apollina, topped with hazelnuts imported from the co-owner’s mother’s farm in southern Italy.

There’s so much goodness to try here, and it’s not all sweet—there’s a lengthy focaccia sandwich menu plus arancini, eggplant Parm, meatballs, and more. Thank you, @jonathanforgash, for introducing me to this spot.

The next time you’re heading north to pumpkin-pi

The next time you’re heading north to pumpkin-pick or leaf-peep, or going to the @bronxzoo or @nybg, make this Bronx detour: @bronx_burek_lydig on Lydig a short way off the Bronx River Parkway. This Albanian spot does burek slices and pies exclusively (OK, also a fantastically fresh, creamy homemade yogurt), and they do it exceedingly well. The golden beef and spinach-cheese bureks are flaky, crispy, layered-dough heaven. (There’s also a cheese-only option.)

Slices are $6 a pop. It’s a quick, inexpensive, delicious lunch you can easily eat on the go (it literally saved our hangry family on a recent Saturday day trip north 😆). Save this for your next Bronx eating excursion, and tag us if you go!

At @myleticias (40-32 National St) in Corona, you

At @myleticias (40-32 National St) in Corona, you can decorate your own guaguas de pan (Ecuadorian “bread babies” that are traditional for Día de Los Muertos) every Fri-Sun through Nov. 5. We took our kids recently and they had the best time. Although honestly this is fun for adults too! The guaguas taste good when you’re ready to eat them, like brioche. (H/t to @snack.with.sue for sharing about this!)

Instead of decorating, I tried the seasonal, smoky Carnaval de la Muerte cocktail 💀 and the fritada (fried pork ribs)—both were excellent, as were the encebollado (fish stew) and the chicken soup + pulled pork tacos my kids ate.

Leticias was featured in the latest @qns_together EATS IN QUEENS newsletter I’m editing, along with so much more happening in the Queens food world. If you’re not receiving it yet, find the current dispatch + signup link in our bio!

Stumbled upon this Oaxacan food cart, Tlayuda Oaxa

Stumbled upon this Oaxacan food cart, Tlayuda Oaxaqueña Sr San Pablo, across from Corona Plaza yesterday, and was thrilled to see they have one of my favorite Oaxacan market foods, empanadas de mole amarillo. (There are also plenty of tlayudas, quesadillas, tacos, and more.)

I haven’t had this dish in years, and have never spotted it in NYC before. The women working the truck hand-press the tortillas right before cooking, and for this empanada, melt stringy quesillo inside and then add chopped chicken and yellow mole. The finished product is a delicious, messy affair of crisp, chewy tortilla and rich, piping-hot mole.

The women, who are from Oaxaca, told me the truck is 4 months old and is open 24 hours. It parks on the corner of Roosevelt Ave and 103rd St. Tag me if you go!

Behold the fried shrimp and hot sausage po’boy from @jazzypetesnola in Slidell, LA, just outside New Orleans. It was indeed a beautiful (and massive!) thing.

We are updating our 43-dish-strong food guide to New Orleans. I’ve got several favorite po’boy spots there—this one was new to me (and very near the excellent @drwagnerhoneyislandswamptours we did with our kids). Where’s your favorite po’boy in NOLA?

Who is ready for the MOMO CRAWL?? @momocrawl

Tibetan and Nepali dumplings every which way. Steamed, fried, served with jhol (soup). Filled with beef, chicken, veg, potato, paneer, goat, pork, yak—you name it. Accompanied by a rainbow of sauces 🌈, depending on the particular place.

As a 14-year Jackson Heights local, I love the annual Momo Crawl, and not only for the chance to try so many dumplings at just $1 apiece. I love the energy of the day, the coming together of our community and others to celebrate so much: Himalayan culture in NYC, immigrant-owned food trucks and restaurants, cross-cultural curiosity, diversity.

And I love seeing the beautiful momo on a pedestal for the day. It deserves celebrating! 🥟 It’s traveled a long road to get here.

A few things to know:
• The event is 12-5 this Sunday in Diversity Plaza, Jackson heights.
• There are 31 participating restaurants/vendors this year. That’s 31 momos to try!
• You have until Friday night at midnight to purchase your regular ($10) or limited-edition ($50) passport (ticket) to the crawl online. Only a limited number of walk-up passports will be available on Sunday.
• There is also a Momo Crawl NYC app!

I’ll be there with one of my kids. Who else is in? 🥟🥟🥟

Endless summer in Rockaway, Queens! 🌊☀️

We’re just back from an epic city-beach staycation 40 minutes from home, having rented an Airbnb for a few nights in Rockaway, the beach of Queens. This area only gets better with age. Our whole trip can be viewed in our Story highlight, but here are some great spots to hit up this holiday weekend:

📍@lacevicheriany for Peruvian ceviche, causa + more
📍Best Caribbean for Jamaican breakfast, lunch + dinner
📍@the_beachtender for the best beach Nutcrackers!
📍@therockawayhotel for incredible views + great cocktails
📍@connollysrbny for a frozen piña colada
📍@tacowaybeach for delicious fish tacos + more
📍@themoonlot for Thai snacks, drinks + desserts

Those are in the reel, but we also love Nigerian spot @thecradlenyc, @rockaway_roasters for great coffee + breakfasts, @umasrockaway for Uzbek food, @marasicecreamparlor for homemade (also boozy!) ice cream, @roccosofrocbeach for fresh Italian pastas + more, and @coastalyogurtco for delicious fro-yo.

What’s your favorite Rockaway spot?

Crossing the Delaware River, NJ —> PA and back again. ✨

We love visiting towns along the Delaware—the pull of that river is real! Last weekend we spent some time around Hopewell, Lambertville, and Washington’s Crossing, NJ; and New Hope, Yardley, and Newtown, PA. Everything was within a 20-minute drive, lots to do + eat! Some highlights:

• @martinesriverhouse for lunch in New Hope
• @underthemoonlambertville_ for brunch in Lambertville
• @vaultbrewing in Yardley for local beer + very good pizza/calzones
• @yardleyicehouse for water ices (with custard, natch)
• @washingtoncrossingnj state park for a fascinating dose of U.S. history + pretty hiking trails
• @itsnutts for terrific Trenton-style tomato pie (plus homemade ice cream)

This area is a two-hour drive from NYC, making it a fabulous weekend getaway. Save this post for a weekend travel idea!

If Laramie in SE Wyoming isn't on your radar, here's why it should be!

Last month we had the pleasure of eating + hiking our way around Laramie for a new post that's now up on the site--see the link in our bio (#sponsored by @visitlaramie). This small city delivers in a big way, with a diverse range of restaurants (and lots of regional Wyoming foods), plenty of breweries, free museums at the University of Wyoming, and truly incredible scenery a short drive in any direction.

We easily could have stayed longer than three days in Laramie, and next time we will (and we’ll fish the trout-filled rivers when we do!). It's just a two-hour drive north of Denver, FYI.

If you're Wyoming-bound, save this post for the following Laramie highlights:

Hiking:

Medicine Bow-Route National Forest (Snowy Range)

Post-beach Nigerian eats! Finally had the chance to lunch at @thecradlenyc after a gorgeous morning on Rockaway’s Beach 97. We’ve passed by it several times before, but never had the time to sit. Today we did, helped by the fact that my 9-year-old was interested in Nigerian food after studying the country in school last year. 🇳🇬

He remembered egusi, jollof rice, and puff puff, so that’s what we tried! Specifically:

•the chicken bowl: roasted chicken thigh over tomatoey jollof rice, with sweet plantains and roasted broccoli
•the veg bowl, with kale salad, plantains, and broccoli over jollof rice
•egusi (a flavorful stew of melon seed, greens, locust bean, dry fish, and crayfish), paired with roasted red snapper and pounded yam
•puff puff, fried dough balls with powdered sugar
•watermelon-mint-pineapple juice, one of many yummy juices + smoothies on offer

This food is fresh and healthy and packed with flavor! I loved the fish undertones in the egusi, and the house hot sauce is 🔥. There’s plenty of outdoor seating, and the 7-year-old also approved!

📍The Cradle NYC, 194 Beach 96th St., Rockaway

When you realize you haven’t shared anything to your feed in a week 🤦‍♀️, it’s time for a photo dump reel!

Not posting (outside of Stories) isn’t to say we haven’t been eating well, however. With family in town we’ve eaten plenty, including what’s featured in this reel:

📍 @salaastorianyc for sangria, pan tumaca, fried goat cheese w/honey, pulpo a la plancha, creamy rice with octopus + truffle

Might we suggest working @therealbelluccis into your weekend dining plans? 🍕

Finally visited the newest iteration of the REAL Bellucci’s this past week, and it didn’t disappoint. The Margherita is superb. The Vodka-roni is an instant classic. The Triboro (marinara, pesto, vodka sauce) is super fun. I was lucky to try a little of the fresh clam pie too, which you must order a day in advance.

Bonus: There’s outdoor sidewalk and backyard seating!

That time last week when we finally tried Rocky Mountain oysters (while in Laramie, WY). 😜

Does everyone know what these are? Deep-fried bull testicles, plain and simple. Here’s a pile of them served on top of prime rib at the excellent @cavalrymansteakhouse.

Did they taste like chicken? Not exactly. They’re meaty, but also so simply seasoned that the cocktail sauce they’re served with helps a lot. I was relieved to find they weren’t gelatinous inside, which I expected (feared) for some reason!

We all tried a few bites—definitely didn’t eat all of these, but about half. They weren’t bad at all, but not our favorite thing either. The kids found it funny, of course, especially following our trip to the rodeo the next night: “How do they get the balls off if the bulls are so wild?” 🤣

A good question, indeed.

Four days in New Orleans in 40 seconds 🦞🐊🎺🦀

We had such an incredible time, as always, in NOLA last weekend. It was my third visit to the Crescent City, but my kids’ first, and while you might not peg it as a family-friendly destination, they loved it as much as we did. They immediately got that NOLA magic: the insanely good food, the amazing music, the distinct culture, the beautiful landscapes (those live oaks!), the art and architecture. (The beads, masks, and voodoo dolls too!)

It’s hard to eat poorly in NOLA. We already have 42 local dishes and drinks outlined on our site (link in bio), but I’ll be adding some new ones in coming weeks.
