We ate at a nearby Mexican restaurant called Maria's Mexican Bistro on 4th Ave. I tend to be a guacamole purist (just avocados, lime juice, and salt, maybe the tiniest minced white onion) but this stuff was addictive. Really salty and flavorful.
The tacos were garbage though.
They were dry, stale, flavorless, and overloaded with onions. Notice the visible disappointment.
And look at the layer of grease on the tortilla soup! Orange pools of grease are only acceptable if there is copious amounts of melty processed cheese in the mix or lots of pork. Neither were in this soup.
Barf. The only saving grace was the guacamole. Be warned.
Pretty!
Not a hamster-ball but an ice-cream-maker ball we found on the street in it's full packaging! Our friend Christopher Gere has one and it makes delicious ice cream. You fill up one side with ice and rock salt, the other internal compartment with cream, sugar, and fruit, and then you roll it around on the ground or shake it or throw it back in forth like in elementary school. And ice cream is created. Genius.
Bring on the warm weather!

Gowanus won't be charming for long if we allow City Planning to give this place awa to large developers like Toll Brothers who want to build 12 story buildings all along the water
