Welcome back! I hope you’re having a peaceful and productive week.
Not everyone is as lucky as we are to be here, reading about great food experiences and goofing around on the Internet.
I mentioned a few months ago that one of the next communities we’ll visit on Mouth Of The Border is the Haitian community, which makes up a big square of the quilt that is life and culture in Brooklyn.
Many friends and neighbors here have friends and family in Haiti, which has been absolutely devastated by the recent earthquake. Please consider getting out into the Haitian community this weekend, saying hello and supporting their businesses.
Not in New York City? Here are links to some legitimate ways to donate earthquake relief for Haiti: http://www.google.com/relief/haitiearthquake/

On my second trip to the neighborhood, I spent the day checking out a few more down-home spots getting better acquainted with different foods and flavor combinations. This is part one of two posts on that trip. [click to continue…]

Someone had to make the inevitable connection between the name of this website and its play on the name of that place in South Carolina, so it might as well be me. (And, yes, I’ve actually been there.)
Seriously, though, I’m just back from an inspiring vacation to a tiny Mexican island and wanted to let [...]

Hi. I’m Emily. I have the WORST sense of direction in the world. I could get lost even if you put me in a clear Zip-lock bag. When I first moved here, the subway system was a little overwhelming because it’s so extensive with the number of lines and stops. I tried to figure out [...]
