Where in the World?

Sunday was my last night in New York City. We started our evening with a wonderful dinner at Hell’s Kitchen. It’s labeled as a progressive Mexican restaurant and is located at 679 Ninth Ave. The food was fantastic!For a starter we tried the guacamole with fresh homemade crispy guajillo corn tortillas. Hmmmm! The tortillas were really crispy with a little salt and the guacamole had just the right amount of “bite” to it. We were also served some flat corn bread triangles with a spicy black bean dip. Very good!

For the main course, I ordered the grilled shrimp with serrano sauce, sweet plantain and guacamole. The combination of spicy and sweet was perfectly balanced. I ate until I was stuffed. Erica ordered the pan seared halibut with grilled chayote, sweet plantain puree, and salsa verde. Very good!

The Hell’s Kitchen area of New York City is rich with culture, history, shops and restaurants. I really recommend walking the area, exploring the nooks and crannies plus enjoying the fantastic variety of food that is offered. We walked around for a couple of hours in the evening just absorbing the flurry of activity that seems to never stop in this incredible city.
