$6 Mexican Beef Skewers and Beef Burritos!

Vato in Park Slope is good, and so is Comal on the Lower East Side!

My first year-end guide drops next week! But today, I’ll give you a quick taste of where I’ve been eating. Also: I should be back in a few days with a short essay, alongside some other fun Sutton Stuff.

Let’s get to it!


Mexican Meat Skewers on Forsyth!

I finally dined at Comal, a Modern Mexican restaurant on the Lower East Side.

The manner in which I ended up there was…somewhat unexpected.

My original plan was to hit up [redacted] for dinner; the chef at that hotspot announced a tasty new menu item on social media that afternoon. So I hopped on the train to check it out. And yet, the venue was somehow closed for a private event that evening — without any apparent public notice! This sort of thing happens to me enough that it doesn’t actually bother me that much.

Anyway! I ended up at Comal. And I ate well!
