The choice for Restaurant Week is
Rosa Mexicano at Union Square. Been there before and
liked it. Their Lunch Menu looks great.
City Crab down the block has a good menu too,
as does Angelo and Maxies.



Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat.
"Have yourself a Leine."
Leinenkugel Brewing Company (Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin)
is now owned by Miller Brewing.
The taste is sort of like Coor's Blue Moon
which is a Belgian White. Both garnished with a slice of Orange.
This was a good tasting, clean, well-made ale.

From Wikipedia: "On March 28,2006, the company introduced
Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat also known to some as
"liquid fruity pebbles",which is brewed with wheat, hops,
and coriander. The coriander is claimed to give the beer a
citrus flavor, although it has also been compared to
blueberry. Soon after its introduction, it was made available
throughout much of the US."



Thanks to the NY Post, I saw this:
$6 Guinness Floats at Southern Hospitality,
1460 2nd Ave New York, NY 10075-2203.
To quote Will Smith in Independence Day:
"I gotta get me one of these."

3 scoops vanilla ice cream
1 bottle Guinness® stout

Put the ice cream in first, then add the Guinness carefully. Wait for the head to go down then fill to top. Blend if you want a milkshake.



Erie Brewing Company, American Pale Ale.
Same company as Railbender Ale. This one
has more flavor and is better.
