Cilantro UWS
Last night my husband and I went to Cilantro on the Upper West Side for $10 Fajita Night. We’ve been to this location many times and we are familiar with the food and service.

‘Tis Potluck Season!
One of my favorite dishes to make for a potluck supper is a rice casserole that my Grandmother Alexander used to make for large get-togethers.
