With Valentine’s Day a few days away, the heat is on to find someone special. If you love your dog as much as you’re hoping your future boy/girlfriend will, then this singles party at Crash Mansion is where you may find the perfect companion and pet. My new favorite Mexican taco stand, La Esquina, serves up amazing tacos and tortas. Try the Aguacate Con Queso taco with avocado, queso fresco black bean, pico de gallo, and salsa verde ($3.25). This place will blow your mind. If you can get in, McSorley’s is the oldest bar in NYC, having served up pints since 1854, it has the chair President Lincoln sat in when he stopped in for a drink after a big speech at Cooper Union, among other artifacts. Serving rice pudding in a variety of flavors, this SoHo located dessert shop is as funky as it sounds, in a good way!
