Mexican Delight

Cheap Margaritas and Cheap Food. But, delicious margaritas and delicious food. Check out Blockheads where the portions are plentiful and their cheap refreshing drinks will get you tipsy. I had a chicken quesadilla filled with rice, beans, lettuce, chicken, guac…for $11.99 and it was AMAZING and did not burn a hole through my pocket. (o jokes here, please!) The frozen sangrias are divine and at $3.50 a pop, you can’t just have one! Blockheads offers traditional Mexican fare at reasonable prices that will fill your belly. Check out their sun deck-the perfect place to hang out with friends while sipping their deliciously cheap drinks and devouring their endless supply of salsa and chip. Hmmmm…chips!

I wish I was in Mexico right now, but alas I am not. So, Blockheads is where I will drink delicious cheap margaritas and hang out on their sun deck until it gets cold outside.

ABOUT TNC STREET THEATER
TNC's award-winning Street Theater always contains an elaborate assemblage of trap doors, giant puppets, smoke machines, masks, original choreography and a huge (9' x 12') running screen or "cranky" providing continuous movement behind the actors. The company of 25 actors, twelve crew members, two assistant directors and five live musicians shares the challenge of performing outside and holding a large, non-captive audience. The music varies in style from Bossa Nova to Gilbert & Sullivan.

Company has cool cocktails and a great place to bring some good company!

So, it's hot in NYC. The best thing to do is get an ice cool cocktail in a hopefully air-conditioned place. I had some mean martinis in a place called Company. Located on 10th Street between 1st and 2nd. It is happy hour from 1pm-10pm every day, so all beers and well drinks are 2 for 1 and martinis are $5. Plus they have some delicious-low cost snacks to sober you up between ice, refreshing drinks.

So, grab some Company and have some afternoon delight at Company. It's important to hydrate in this heat. Let me know where you stay cool in this heat. Cheers!
