570 Amsterdam Avenue
Adhering to the Restaurant Epiphany mandate requires creativity and dedication when the thermometer is below freezing and one is looking for a local restaurant. It seems that we have almost exhausted all the restaurants in the five block radius near our house. We were going out to dinner with my sister and her friend Ron who is from North Carolina. He thinks that anything below 50 degrees is like Alaska so we could not venture too far on foot.
We went to Mamajuana Café, a new restaurant to the neighborhood, that serves Latino cuisine. The food and service were mediocre, a problem that could be attributed to growing pains. More importantly, the management did not read the bible used by restaurant gurus who know how patrons should and like to be treated. At Mamajuana, one could order guacamole with chips from the menu. Ed just wanted the chips and was more than willing to pay for them. A lengthy discussion ensued with the waiter, and he reluctantly finally brought a plate of seven chips to the table. Another misstep was that a charge was added to our bill for additional condiment to augment the miniscule portion that came with the entrée. Penny wise and dollar foolish!
