Mexican Cheese Fundido I can't tell you how thrilled and tickled I become every time I see "queso fundido" listed on a menu. The vibrant green dip was accompanied by a basket of warm and salty tortilla chips, and two miniscule "cups" of house-made salsas. Guacamole for the Table Rich and buttery smashed avocado was seasoned with salt and topped with a mild in spice, yet robust in flavor, pico-de-gallo ( chopped tomato, red onion and parsley - and a dash of olive oil and freshly-ground black pepper). Like, ever.Now, instead of going into great detail about each and every single dish that we ordered - which was almost, literally, the entire menu - I'm going to briefly describe each plate under its respective photograph ( in chronological order): I'm sorry, but I think that this is probably one of the most attractive cocktail photos taken. Think: your choice of lounge, table, or bar seating - dimly-lit, sexy atmosphere illuminated by twinkling votive candles - current pop tunes playing throughout - rustic Mexican furnishings meet chic urban aesthetics.ĭinner at Las Chicas Locas: table scape Dinner at Las Chicas Locas: modern accents By the time my first "skinny" Watermelon Margarita arrived ( "skinny" refers to the fact that the cocktail is simply made with tequila, watermelon, orange liqueur and agave nectar - no corn syrup, no refined sugar, etc.), so did my dinner guest, Megan.ĭinner at Las Chicas Locas: "skinny" Watermelon Margarita.

So if you're thinking that this restaurant is just another boring, half-ass attempt made by an international hotel chain, then leave your prejudices at the door. After all, it had been a little over one year since my last meal at Las Chicas Locas.Īlthough it's located within Chelsea's Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, LCL ( Las Chicas Locas) is a separate entity. Directions: *All photos from this meal can be viewed on FlickrĪfter learning that Las Chicas Locas, a Mexican restaurant in my neighborhood, re-vamped its menu and partnered with two-star Michelin chef, Christopher Lee ( of Aureole), to oversee/develop its culinary operations, I decided that it was the perfect time for a return visit.25th Street ( between 6th & 7th Avenues ) / located within Four Points by Sheraton Hotel Price: affordable all items on dinner menu under $16.Ideal for: small groups, 1x1, bar, small plates, al-fresco drinking/dining.Madwomen promises to reveal a profound poet to a new generation of Anglophone readers while reacquainting Spanish readers with a stranger, more complicated “madwoman” than most have ever known. This groundbreaking collection presents poems from Mistral’s final published volume as well as new editions of posthumous work, featuring the first English-language appearance of many essential poems. Strong and intensely human, Mistral’s poetic women confront impossible situations to which no sane response exists. The Locas mujeres poems collected here are among Mistral’s most complex and compelling, exploring facets of the self in extremis-poems marked by the wound of blazing catastrophe and its aftermath of mourning.įrom disquieting humor to balladlike lyricism to folkloric wisdom, these pieces enact a tragic sense of life, depicting “madwomen” who are anything but mad. A schoolteacher whose poetry catapulted her to early fame in her native Chile and an international diplomat whose boundary-defying sexuality still challenges scholars, Gabriela Mistral (1889–1957) is one of the most important and enigmatic figures in Latin American literature of the last century.
