Finally checking out Olivino!

Rice Benedict: A favorite

For every bad thing I’ve said about Rice’s dinner, I have ten good things to say about their brunch, the Rice Benedict especially. Ironically, there is no rice at all in this favorite of mine. But it’s different from the other Benedicts because arepas replace the expected english muffin. And guacamole with tomatoes and scallion complete the latin/Mexican palate. To max out on the feeling of decadence, you can order this as part of the bottomless mimosa brunch which adds a side, coffee, and unlimited mimosas.

Monday
That was the day I rediscovered SushiD after a hellish workday. I’d neglected it lately for Yamashiro on Myrtle. Their brown rice Dragon Roll was yummy.

During that meal, this tweet struck my attention:

Three fellow FGCH twitterers (@illliterate @museumnerd and @andyjacob)  kept me abreast of the happenings at Habana Outpost last night without my even asking! Talk about organic neighborhood watching.

I am cut and pasting their updates:

The Myrtle Ave Eco-Shopping Bag

Just purchased one at Gnarly Vines along with a Hope bottle of wine for my Easter meal on Long Island. Oh and they’re open til 6pm in case you were wondering. (Not true of the liquor shop at the corner of Washington.)
