This restaurant deserves so much praise - first eco eatery in New York, outdoor seating, fantastic mix of locals & jealous Manhattanites, a margarita bike! - the delicious food is a bonus. After placing my order at the little truck, I sat down with my Morita (review coming soon) and dug in to some respectable chips and salsa. The atmosphere at Habana Outpost is part block-party, party Sunday picnic so didn't mind the short wait for the sandwich. Big chunks of queso blanco, ripe avacado on a roll slathered with chipotle mayo. Hells yes! As long as the weather doesn't pull a repeat of this past weekend, I plan on making this a regular stop this summer.

Good lord! I spent more time on this scrumptious monster than wandering the aisles. Wafles and Wagner chairs - very nice combo, though the scoop of organic Blue Marble coffee ice cream made a tastier pairing.

Here I go again with the pizza, but this one is different - a Middle Eastern take! Bubbly mozzarella with red peppers, parsley and chiles on a crisp (and huge!) pita crust. Lots of snack-y delights on the menu, perfect for sharing in this charming spot on Bedford.

I was sad to see the pizzette was taken off the menu, but this dish more than made up for it. Fiery housemade kimchi with soba noodles, fiddleheads (maybe they swapped out for asparagus) and tempura battered tofu in a light black sesame sauce. Yum! And props for balancing the carbs & protein. Bottle that kimchi - it's a winner!

Usually when I request that a chef throw something together for a vegetarian plate, I receive in return an uninspired bowl of pasta or suggestion to order a few side items and a salad. Postrio is an exception. Samosas with fresh chickpeas and broccolini served with mint chutney. Sweet potato puree with cippolini onion, pepper, pecan and currant relish. Fingerling potatoes + asparagus. Pineapple fried rice with tangy Thai eggplant. Sesame butternut squash with bokchoy and mushrooms. These weren't entree choices - they were the entree. A Benetton of tastes all on one plate. I especially enjoyed the rice and sweet potato. Sure this plate was all over the map, but it was also satisfying. And tasty. I wish more restaurants would recognize how enjoyable it is to eat a dish that points to someone behind the scenes having fun with the possibilities. Seconds, please!
