Flor de Mayo @ NYC

Are you ready for perhaps, at least in my opinion, the best restaurant in NY? The reason is because it's super affordable, and you can feed lots of people for little $ (when you consider what other restaurants). When you go to NY, you have to go to Flor de Mayo, I know I've said this a few times already with other restaurants, just think that I'm making you a list, and planning your meals for you. Flor de Mayo is chinese, cuban and peruvian food. Yes I know you're thinking, how can that be good, but trust me it ALL works - real well. The downside is that they don't take reservations, and like most places they only seat you if you're entire party is here. The place is small, cramped and always busy. Now the plates of food you see below was enough to feed 8 people, and we were all stuffed. Additionally, I think this is the only place in NY where you can buy a pitcher of sangria for $20. That's right, $20.

 Avocado Salad

this is what avocados should taste like, sweet and creamy. these avocados were perfectly ripped, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and threw some raw red onions on top. i loved to smear this over the bread. yums

Bistec de Palomilla

this dish was good, but i didn't like the breading on the steak. it was too thick. definitely had better elsewhere, but don't let this deter you from coming here 

Lomo Saltado

[sliced steak sauteed with potatoes, onions and tomato served over  yellow rice]

tres yummy. super flavorful, super fresh, you can taste the "wok hay" and i love the yellow rice. it has it's own fragrant flavor and it absorbs everything else as well 

Pollo de Brasa

you HAVE to order this. where else can you get a whole chicken for only $12 that's so tasty? the chicken is not dry at all, and the skin is uber crispy. this is what they're known for, so just order it! 

Pork Chops

equally good and huge
