Lower East Side aka: L.E.S.

I work in the LES so I am in it about 60 hours a week. Movies are shot here. Music videos are shot here. Album covers are taken here. TV shows are shot here. Things happen on Rivington, Orchard, Ludlow, Clinton, Houston and all the little corners in between.

They say if you can make it here you can make it anywhere and that’s what San Loco has done. May 2007 marks the 20th anniversary of the company. With four restaurants and twenty years of success under its belt, San Loco will be celebrating by offering their customers tacos for 20 cents* on Sunday, May 20th, 2007 in all NY area locations.

20 years in NYC is no small feat in a time where small restaurants are either priced out by exorbitant rents, close within a few years because of slow business or have larger chains grabbing their clientele. San Loco has not only held their own but is getting bigger—its new location in Williamsburg, Brooklyn boasts seating for 65, a full bar and a pool table making it a place where you can grab a bite and a few drinks while you chill with friends. While the name ‘San Loco’ first became well known amongst the many after-hours New Yorkers spilling out of the bars and seeking food to satisfy their post-party hunger, it has grown well beyond just a tiny late-night joint.

• Offer valid at all four NY area San Loco locations on May 20, 2007. Limit five (5) per customer. Hard shell beef tacos and bean/rice tacos only. Offer is not valid for delivery service. Tax is not included. Offer available while supplies last. (No funny business).

One night I was walking out of katz and I saw a man, with a messenger’s bag, on a bicycle. In a bride’s dress.

i came here to eat at the ‘australian’ restaurant called ‘bondi road’. it was more australian than outback steakhouse, in that the owners were actually australian, and they sold stuff you actually get in australia. it was a good night.

God bless the L.E.S.
