I enjoy seeing how people gravitate to restaurants run by nice people (like Nopa!). But a winning smile doesn’t quell a rumbling belly: like Nopa, they have to be serving some tasty vittles too. And when those tasty vittles fall square into the cheap eats category, well, you’ve just might have yourself a nice little business. Personable chef/owner Mohamed Ghaleb has left his Jones Street hole-in-the-wall (literally) and with his new Polk Street digs he now has room for about quadruple the number of guests to stretch out. Based on the crowds I have witnessed since ~TAJINE~ reopened, I’d say that’s a good thing. And he takes credit cards...

I try to make my life a study of hi-lo as much as possible. Nothing quite like doing a posh champagne tasting at the Ritz, followed up by a drink down the street at the Tunnel Top and then an emergency quesadilla. Or oysters at Zuni Café with the 'mos and then beers on the Zeitgeist patio with the dogs on a rare sunny Sunday. Hi-lo, baby. A few weeks back I had dinner at Cortez one night and La Folie on another, with a humble but delicious dinner at ~TAJINE~ sandwiched right in the middle. Tajine is actually right around the corner from Cortez, on Jones Street, but it's seriously another world. Man, Jones Street is like zombie headquarters. (Just so you know what you're getting into here.)

Last week we were too tired to break our Yom Kippur fast the traditional way, with friends and family. Instead we stayed in the City and broke our fast with another group of people who were also breaking their fast--Muslims.
