Best Friends Dinner V

Joel has been wanting to try out this Argentinian place in Little Italy for the longest time so on Thursday we FINALLY went to Puerto La Boca! I guess their main website has been down for awhile so all the info I could find on this restaurant was through Yelp. The last time Joel and I went to Little Italy was to eat at Trattoria Fantastica / Cafe Zuccheros and that time it seriously took us FOREVER to get parking but luckily this time we were able to find parking easily. Also, the restaurant was at the far end of Little Italy so there was plenty of parking spaces available.


We started our meal off with tons of bread and olives, garlic butter, and this really delicious parsley, garlic & olive oil mix. Andrew told me what it was called but all I remember was it sounded like "chimichanga."


Joel took this picture after we already tore it up and devoured so much bread. We also ordered 1 ham and cheese empenada as an appetizer but we were eating like barbarians and didn't have time to take a picture of it but that too was tasty. It took us forever to decide what we want because it was like this for 10 min while the server was patiently standing at our table taking our order.

Joel: We would like the empenadas.
Server: You have a choice of beef, spinach, ham, cheese & chicken.
Me: Oh we can get cheese and chicken.
Server: Oh it is actually ham and cheese.
Me: Oh ok!
Joel: Beef.....(silence)
Me: Spinach.......(silence)
Me: Oh wait you don't like vegetables (looking at Joel)
Joel: No that's fine.
Me: Beef......(silence)
Joel: Um...
Me: Ok ham and cheese.
Joel: Ham and cheese.
Me + Joel: Ham and cheese!!
Server: So ham and cheese?
Joel: Yes.
Me: Sorry Thank you!!

We ordered Entraña for two with mashed potatoes.

Overall it was a nice place and I would definitely go again. =)

After dinner Joel and I decided to walk around Little Italy on a quest to find a place for Best Friends Dinner VI / photo shoot. HAHA.



There is ALWAYS this long line at Filippis!! I mean its OK there?

After walking around for a bit we decided to get Gelato!!


We couldn't decide between Nocciola, Pistacio, or Vagina Gelato Flavors. HAHA!!

Cafe Zucchero seriously gives SOOOOOO MUCH Gelato!! So good!!! Alas, our night came to an end so until the next dinner..... Toodles!!

Elbow Guns. The End!!
