From the outside, S.O.B.'s doesn't look like much, but once you enter through the doors and the music starts, there is no way a person can't enjoy themselves. From Jamrock Haitian music to Hip-Hop artists, there is music for everyone. Solvillage with Eric Roberson hosting was a great experience because he is upbeat and knows how to keep the crowd entertained between acts. The acts themselves, while very different, worked well together without seeming forced. Going to any performance is a great way to spend the evening, especially considering there is excellent food and drinks as well.
Pros: Music, Atmosphere

I have been to B Smiths quite a few times and I have never been disappointed. I most recently had my bridal shower at B Smiths and my ladies and I had a fabulous time. I always order the Fried Chicken with the Mac n Cheese and it is simply delicious. The food was fresh, hot and we all completely enjoyed ourselves. The drinks were out of this world. I had countless Creme Brulee Martinis...Slammin is all I can say. To top my nite off, B Smith was in the restaurant and sat down with us for part of my celebration and took pictures with us. It was one of the best nites in my life. Thank You B Smith. I will be coming again and again and again...

Yes, people. They are open! The BBQ wings, mac and cheese, collard greens, and corn bread are A-1. You've gotta have the sweet potato pie. Probably the best in NYC. Phone ahead as this sweet delight sells out fast. I smelled curry goat as I left. Ah. Must try it next time.
Pros: Great food, great ownership
Cons: N/A

I walked by Casa Havana and saw the sign Paella $10.95 I could not believe it because every restaurant I have visited for paella goes for over $22.00 per person.I tried it and it was as good as some of the top restaurants that serve paella.As I looked around at least a third of the customers were eating paella.oh I forgot that with a glass of wine its $14.95 Great find in Chelsea.
Pros: more food and more food
Cons: too much food

I love, love, love this place for food and price. Can't go wrong with their cuban sandwich. The atmosphere is quaint and feels like Cuba. Not pretentious at all and the drinks are not bad either. Go for the simplicity and homestyle cooking and have a good time with friends or love ones. Never a bad meal, ever.
Pros: cheap/fresh/great sandwich among meals
Cons: none

i had no idea how hard it was to find a good puerto rican restaurant! the parking is non-existent, so I don't recommend driving...but WOW was this place worth it.
I had the pastele, my older daughter ordered the shrimp asada (it was a soupy kind of shrimp with broth) and the younger daughter ordered bistec y sebolla (steak and onions) which as very flavorful, although not the best cut of meat, if you're picky about stuff like that...however, it was very good.
shrimp dish was amazing. perfectly seasoned with a hint of heat. the shrimps themselves werent as creamy smooth as I like it, but absolutely delicious.
my pastele? well, lets just say ... I've never, ever eaten pastele from anyone but my mom, these were absolutely delicious, perfect amount of pork and seasonings...my kids want to learn how to make them...the only drawback was there was only one pastelle served...not enough to share adequetly. rice was creamy soft and steaming hot, the beans had a similar bit of heat to them as described in the shrimp dish. My youngest daughter is IMPOSSSIBLE to please when ordering out. I thought she would order the chiken and white rice & leave 3/4 of it on her plate...well, this daughter of a Puerto Rican ate like a champ and fell asleep on my shoulder afterwards with a heavy sigh said," mommie, that was delicious, thank you" what better endorsement? service was grand, and the men are flirty in a very respectful way...they fussed over everyone. I had a beer with supper & the bill came to under 50 bux. hello!! I really love this place and can't wait to go back. it's worth the trip from Long Beach
Pros: Food, prices, proximity to everything else on westside
Cons: parking
