Indulge Sunday: A relaxing massage at SuTRA Midtown, chicken and hummus wrap for lunch at Wy-Knot Cafe, cupcakes from Urban Cookies for dessert. A great Sunday spent mostly indoors!
A Cubano sandwich, macaroon and lime/rum cocktail for lunch at Astor House. Just because it’s Thursday.
The temple being constructed for the Guru Nanak Dwara Ashram in the Coronado Historic Neighborhood certainly stands out in contrast to the 1920s bungalows surrounding it. If you’ve ever wondered who is behind this unusual building (and when the heck they’ll be done building it), there’s an article in this month’s PHOENIX Magazine worth reading.

I wrote a book about bacon, so finding myself in a vegetarian/vegan dining situation is always a curious experience. But today I took a leap and had lunch at Green and dessert/tea at Nami on 7th Street just north of McDowell Road. Labels aside, their food is simply spectacular. If you haven’t tried it yet because you’re skeptical of ‘the vegan thing’, set aside your preconceived notions and visit this Coronado establishment. Not to miss are the thyme french fries and pretty much any of the tsoynami ice cream treats. I also had the ‘no harm chicken parm sandwich’ which was quite enjoyable. They have a patio for when the weather is nice, and their weekend brunch is becoming a popular event for those in the ‘hood.

What’s the antidote to the ridiculously over-the-top steak dinner I ate last night? A beautifully over-sized salad and the lovely tuna spring rolls I had for lunch today at Rice Paper Eatery on 7th Street in Coronado.
Cute patio at the new White Sage Espresso on 16th Street in Coronado.
Enjoying the house specialty tacos at La Condesa on 16th Street in Coronado for lunch today. The salsa bar here is off the hook.
Sometimes all you crave for lunch is a hearty, home style sandwich. Ladybug House of Sandwiches at 11th Street and McDowell Road can satisfy this need.

We’re running out of patio days before hell/summer arrives. Check out La Piccola Cucina on 7th Street for al fresco European-style dining.
