Mama Mexico

It has been a busy week and I just realised that I have not posted since Monday. What impact does this have your lives? Well none really except that you have to wait a couple of extra days to hear about my adventures in the big apple.

After surviving our adventures in Brooklyn, we made it back to the UWS in one piece and headed to Mama Mexico for dinner. This place is in vogue at the moment and we were lucky to get in due to a cancellation. The beer menu on offer was not very exciting, just your regular Mexican faire of tasteless lagers with the exception of Dos Equis XX Ambre (which I opted for).

Most beer geeks will know that South America is a haven for amber coloured Vienna style lagers and I was well chuffed that Mama Mexico's were offering more that your regular Corona and friends options. Anyhow I strongly recommend Mama Mexico's (101st and Broadway) for a feed - best guacamole in town.

On the way back to our room we stopped at another off licence and picked up some Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream for the missus and some Pete's Wicked Ale for myself. This beer was OK, well at least it didn't taste like pinecones. Besides this it was kind of bland and I won't be bothering again. I also managed to finish off the Ben & Jerry's after my beer and watch some more mindless but utterly intriguing US reality TV. A good way to finish off a boozy day.
