Two Days at the Ninth Avenue International Food Festival

This weekend was chock full o' socializing, much of it during the two days of the Ninth Avenue International Food Festival. This year was apparently empanada year, and we decided that Old San Juan had the best! Here are just a few photos...

Rudy's was prepared for a swine flu outbreak, just in case...

Recession Thai drew quite the line...

More $1 Thai

Fried Oreo's what?

Myrna's Caribbean Cuisine had yummy conch fritters that reminded me of the ones I had when I was a kid visiting family in the Bahamas. They even absorbed the fat in the same way, giving me a greasy lump-in-the-stomach feeling like nothing else ever has. (The stand's homemade hot sauce kicked some major butt, too.)
