Venezuelan at Caracas, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Ensalata mixta.

La vegetariana AREPAS!! Ashley and I shared this wonderful vegetarian sampler. So so so yum! I don't love tortillas and I don't super love the arepa bread either, but I definitely like it better than tortillas. The stuffing in pita would be heaven though. ;)

Venezuelan food is a must in NYC though. I can't believe I haven't found a place in SF yet.

Westville East, East Village, NYC.

Westville does this amazing thing where you can choose 4 sides for $13. BRILLIANT. And there are about 20 to choose from and they all sound amazing, so it's super difficult to choose! :) I got: lemon asparagus with parmesan; pesto mashed potatoes; fried plantains with feta; sweet potato fries. SO SO SO SO GOOD. I want to eat here always!

Bassetts Ice Cream! Mint chocolate chip, coffee and strawberry. Soooo creamy and tasty.
