El Cocotero
228 W 18th St, New York, NY
So we tried to find a Turkish place called Beyoglu on 31st Street but it was impossible to locate, considering it is located at 81st street and since made that big blunder! After that failure we decided to hit the Venenzuelean place in downtown Chelsea. We ordered a lunch special that wasn't even being offered but we made them switch the meat to shrimp- just for Hanifa (and us). We missed having the Cazon which sounded the most exotic (yes, we absolutely were trying to be tourists!) so instead we got a Miss Venezuela. Despite its name, the latter looked nothing like the beauty queens we are used to seeing from that country- it was like dry wrap, tomatoes stuffed in it with some veggies....hmmmm...The special lunch was quite nice and yummmy though.
What struck me the most appealing about the place was how accommodating the people were there and how patient the waitress was. And also, how nice the bathroom looked! So go for decent food (still pricey though), friendly people and a aesthetically pleasing time in the loo. Oh, the menu was quite nice too!
Total spent? $21.
