This is a short documentary on Freegans. http://youtu.be/FZoUleklIx4 "Freeganism is creative living outside of capitalism." - Cindy Rosin - In this episode of Subculture Club we meet a few Freegans in New York City and learn about their strategies for practical living. We explore why they take limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources.

THE BEST ECUADORIAN RESTAURANT IN NYC

Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:32:49 -0400

El Rincon del Sabor opened its doors in 1993, envisioned by a Ecuadorian family to provide the Latin community who worked in the Diamond District located in Manhattan with delicious and home-made dishes, at affordable prices. The restaurant attracts not only the Latin community that work in the neighborhood, but also customers from different Ethnicities, that like to enjoy Ecuadorian cuisine. “The daily menu, prices and variety of dishes are some reasons why our clients come and stay with us”. On Saturday we prepare special dishes for tourists who prefer home cooking, who also enjoy seeing an authentic Latin restaurant located in the Diamond City of New York. Run by the owner from Monday to Saturday – 10 a 4pm. Visit us at 74W. 47 Street 4th Floor New York, NY 10036. Tel: 212 840 0101

5 Dumplings for $1. 'Nuff said.

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 01:12:50 -0400

I am in stark disbelief that this place isn't already up on the site. What a brobdingnagian disappointment. I've been going to Great Taste Dumpling since I moved into the 'hood late last year and it's not exactly a well-kept secret. They sell 5 fried pork and chive dumplings for $1-- you read that right. In fact, everything on the menu is ridiculously cheap like that. Sadly, the menu isn't very expansive, but it makes coming to a decision that much easier.

Cheap Eats in Sunset Park

The place is rather unassuming when you walk inside, looking more like a bakery than a Vietnamese sandwich shop. But you go to the back where the grill is, there's a big menu up above. It's mostly in Vietnamese, but the options are rather quite simple depending on what you're in the mood for. You can get a giant hero-sized sandwich stuffed with your favorite meat for $5, or a vegetarian option for only $3. Both are absolutely delicious and filling. They have egg rolls on the left side for only 75 cents, which are also quite yummy.

Kale & chickpea stew with paprika, cumin & lime

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:40:21 -0500

Warm a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic, red pepper and basil and cook till the shallots and garlic start to brown. Add the sweet potatoes and cook till they start to brown and soften. Add the beer. Cook till it’s thick and syrupy. Add the chickpeas, paprika, cumin, raisins and about 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat and simmer till the sweet potato is nice and soft. You might need to add a cup or two more water as you go along, to keep it a consistency that you like. Chop the kale into small pieces and add to the stew. Cook until everything is mixed and hot through. Add the butter and lime juice and season with salt and pepper.

Combine everything but the chard leaves in a large bowl and stir to mix well. Leave out about 1 T worth of butter pieces. In a large pot of salted water, boil the chard leaves for a couple of minutes, until they’re wilted, but still bright. Drain them, and leave to cool for a moment. They don’t need to be completely dry. Butter a medium-sized bowl or dish. Line the bowl with the chard leaves – starting in the center and moving around like the petals of a flower. Make sure the leaves overlap one another. Their tips should hang over the outside of the bowl. Press the filling into the leave-lined bowl, and then fold the tips of the chard leaves over. Overlap them again, until you have a smooth, coherent surface of chard leaves. Dot the surface with the remaining tablespoonful of butter. Bake at 400 for 15 to 20 minutes, till it’s hot through.

Great vacation

Sat, 17 Sep 2011 06:51:53 -0400

Zakopane is a obedient standing for the treatment of energetic travelers who spend most of their measure in the mountains like mazury cud natury. During the summer there are tourists for hundreds of miles of trails. It is possible to climb the mountains and lift the great views stretching all around. In winter some of these routes turns into a ski itinerary, where the lifts are open and can aside themselves to pale madness. The Tatras are the thorough place to impede whether we like hiking or walking in the valleys, and winter ski and snowboard wear.

Pita Joe's Summer Specials

Thu, 02 Jun 2011 13:44:14 -0400

Pita Joe is by far, hands down, the most amazing inexpensive pita sandwiches I have ever had. And to boot, they are nice and light. It's so hard especially around Union Square to avoid the Taco Bell and various other thriving cheap fast foods. This little gem located on 2W. 14th street not only offers healthy lunches and great prices they are incredibly fast and have friendly service. On any given day you will see the owner Shai working the pitas and interacting with customers. Pita Joe as well has started advertising there summer promotions which at an unbelievable price of $4.95 you can receive a falafel sandwich. The catch is you have to find the pretty lady handing the promotional cards out. Either way stop in to get great Middle Eastern food at a great price and all meals are made from scratch!

Home made ice cream in a 90 yar old shop

Tue, 05 Apr 2011 14:21:05 -0400

This place should be a historical landmark but let's get to the ice-cream. Classic old fashioned flavors. The butter pecan is perfection. Home made toppings like hot fudge and butterscotch. The freshest whipped cream I've ever had. Free seltzer water to wash it all down! *****
