New York August 9th 2014

Today we had a relaxing day and caught up with Barb and Dorothy at their street stall.  

On the way we past a Dry Cleaners that had a huge sign stating: "Organic Dry Cleaner".  We both laughed as the only organic dry cleaning we could think of in Australia would be on the clothes line outside with a Hills-hoist.  We do know the difference between regular washing and dry cleaning but thought this was very funny as traditionally outside clothes lines are not used in the USA.

During the afternoon Dorothy wanted to "treat" us to a frozen yoghurt at "Red Mango" at 701 2nd Ave, New York.  Phone (212) 883 7630.   The frozen yoghurt was delicious and we also tried their smoothy which was refreshing and not too heavy.  we also used their toilets which were exceptionally clean.

We helped them pack up their wares. Then went to our favourite Mexican Restaurant in the USA.  It is called BABY BO'S at 627 Second Ave, New York (at 34th St South West corner).  

Love the food and the service at BABY BOS.  The drinks are terrific and the atmosphere is lovely and warm with murals painted on the walls and coloured fairy lights.

The toilets are fun as there is a fun "Do not pee on the floor" visual sign.  I have not seen one of these signs anywhere else.

My partner had a Bud and I had The Green Hornet cocktail, which consisted of Patron Reposado, Midori, Pineapple  juice, Lemon and lime mix.  Strong and full flavour.  I had to have a second.

I had the Steak Vaquero burritos which was skirt steak, black beans, red rice, Monterey Jack and a pickled red onion. Covered with avocado, crema and tomatillo sauce.  This was a huge serve and I enjoyed it.  We both swapped meals for a few mouthfuls.  This size was good to share.

My partner had the El Dorado which was grilled portabellos , spinach,sweet plantains and Monterey Jack.  Covered with red chile sauce, crema and quese cotija.  Served with red rice and red black beans.  I got to try this also and loved its vegetarian full flavour.  This had a lovely texture.

After dinner we went back and relaxed at the hotel.
