Meal #26 - Bulgaria

Photos from our Bulgarian dinner at Trakia in Astoria, Queens back in August 2014.


Menu


Shopska salad







The sink in the men's restroom is also worth sharing, but it's a bit NSFW, so you'll need to click here if you're curious

Not pictured nor recommended: several $5 Bulgarian wines purchased at a nearby grocer.

Next time (given the prices are affordable for me) I will be in!
Welcome to the city! Hope you're able to join us soon

😊 I would guess that every guy who used that restroom took a picture of that. 😁

Great to hear from you! Unfortunately I've got a flight to Europe out of EWR at ~6pm on 5/22, so my options are a bit limited. If you'll be in town in time for lunch that day, I'd be glad to set something up.


The next dates I'm targeting are a lunch on Sunday 4/19 and/or dinner(s) on 5/1 or 5/15. Cuisines TBD.

Not sure how common Panamanian restaurants are in the NY area, but I walked by one today in Brooklyn, by Franklin Ave. and St. Marks Ave. in Crown Heights.

Will it still be open by the time we reach "p?" Vamos a ver...

I'm looking at next week or weekend (7/28-8/2 timeframe) for an Ivorian (Côte d'Ivoire) meal in East Harlem. Any preferences on the date? If not, I'll probably do it on Saturday 8/1.

Restaurant info: http://www.yelp.com/biz/new-ivoire-new-york - open 24 hours!

Short notice but we will be having our Côte d’Ivoire lunch at 1:30pm tomorrow.

Location: New Ivoire Restaurant - 76 East 119th Street, East Harlem, Manhattan (map)

This is a decent-sized counter service establishment, so no reservations are necessary. Hope to see a few of you there tomorrow!

The next meal after this should be the weekend of 8/15-8/16

I hear that you can find plenty of Costa Rican restaurants in Northern New Jersey and if you label that area as "Borough 5A," it can fit right in here.
