Hosive

we’ve been traveling so i thought i would share a few places that we like to eat at not in nyc. again, not necessarily the best or whatever superlative…just places we go to regularly when we are in your town.

this is for leonard, who happens to be in my town today:

when we are in la, we ask theresa’s aunt and uncle to take us here……..

i only knew this as the vietnamese place…i don’t even know what town it is in but i manage to get a shot of the cross streets(see below)if you are interested in going. what’s the big deal? cheap good food, a latino waiter who picks up chinese  and the only vietnamese place i know of that actually has an a rating. in la, they grade their restaurants on cleanliness. there maybe others but usually asian places garner b or even c ratings. we eat at those places anyway…..we know that the more ghetto, the more realistic the food is! but this place is tasty…..and clean! a good sell for koreans!

theresa would recommend the rice paper wraps, pho with everything. i like the bun, the cold(room temperature)noodles with roast pork and fried rolls…at saigon grill in nyc, they only give you the option of one or the other so i wind up getting charged 2 entrees to get what i want. here….its set up nicely for me.

pride used to prevent me from saying that asian food is better on the west coast but i am a believer now. from taiwanese to korean to chinese and now vietnamese. look up mission and las tunas and check it out.

also…..as a programming note…upcoming this week as we enter into a few somber days when new yorkers reflect on their connection to the city…some very new york-y posts…rapid fire and abundant. this city inspires in multiple directions.
