Azuki. New York, NY.

Azuki is a great sushi  restaurant in New York. We all know that the city is known for expensive dining and drinking but Azuki is not like that. My friends come to Azuki on Thursdays because of one of the greatest specials I’ve heard in a sushi restaurant. When you buy $15 worth of food you get unlimited wine or sake. I bought 3 rolls and was completely full and the wine was really good, we had great time. They have a wide variety of rolls and sashimi to choose from.

I was so excited to be in the city on a Thursday because I was finally able to try the infamous Azuki. Azuki is located on Park Avenue between 19th and 20th St.

Havana Central. New York, NY.

After a long day in the city I went for dinner at Havana Central in Union Square. They got really good Cuban food and specials every day of the week. My favorite specials are on Tuesdays and Thursdays when they have $1 Empanadas and $5 Mojitos.  My dinner consisted of a few appetizers, I couldn’t decide for one so I had to go for the Chicken Tamales, the beef Empanada and the Grilled Corn.

For anyone that hasn’t eaten Cuban food, it is Caribbean oriented. Rice and Beans are a staple of Cuban cuisine but they got a lot more than that, they have wonderful meats, spices and desserts. Most Cuban restaurants offer grilled corn and everyone in the world deserves to try it. The corn is grilled and then rolled on cheese and spices, it’s amazing!

Havana has three locations in New York City, visit their website here to learn more about their specials at each location.
