by Ming-Jou C. on A good friend is one who knows exactly what to recommend when you call up at lunchtime after having landed into SFO after an hour-long delay and are starving. DK suggested Nick's Crispy Tacos on Polk and Broadway without hesitation. He didn't even ask what I felt like eating or where I was in the city. It didn't matter. Because he knows I love a good taco and awesome pico de gallo. Which is exactly what we found at Nick's Crispy Tacos. When your friend tells you, "You'll like it," that's a pretty confident statement. Especially to me. We parked at a meter at $2/hour, with a 1 hour limit. Stupid SF meters. You can enter from the corner, or through their "main" entrance under the name of the restaurant. You walk in and there's a counter to your right and a menu above that. There's usually a line (it never died down the entire hour we were there), but it moves fast because the people there know what they're doing. I ordered a carne asada taco (Nick's style which comes with a crispy shell layer and cheese) and a grilled fish taco. They were about $4/each, not cheap for tacos. We also got a large watermelon agua fresca $4 and a salsa and chips with guacamole $4. They hand you your drink and chips right there as you pay. CASH ONLY. Total bill for 4 tacos, chips and drink came out to about $27. You look around and there is red decor with semi-circle booths, tables scattered and a huge bar in the adjacent room. I went to the bathroom and it was super creepy, with doors falling off the hinges and you can just tell that this is a place where either murders happen or people barf after drinking too much. Found out it was the latter since this place turns into a lounge at night (no tacos!). You get a number and they bring out your food fairly quickly. The tacos were pretty substantial, but I wasn't really into Nick's style. The crispy shell didn't do anything for me, but the filling was good. Next time I'll know to get it without beans because that just takes away from the flavor of the meat. The carne asada was tasty and filling. The grilled fish was pretty good too and the piece of fish was generous. Best thing was the chips and salsa with a scoop of guacamole. I would've been happy with more guac, but for $4, you really can't complain. The pico de gallo was piled high on thick chips. I couldn't stop stuffing my face with them. One person in our group got the quesadilla, which was the biggest quesadilla I've ever seen, and I'm not just saying that to be polite. Someone else got chicken tacos, which she liked. And GL got baja style fish and carnitas. He said he didn't really like the flavor of the carnitas, but it also could've been because it was Nick's way too. That just wasn't a favorite at our table. Great experience, friendly service and I'm still thinking about the chips and salsa. That night, I saw Nick's listed as a favorite in 7x7 magazine in the hotel room. Good friends don't steer you wrong.
by Beulah Wescom on You know, i have been to alot of Sherlocks from Dallas, Houston and now Austin. They are pretty much all the same with the exception of what type of crowd they attract. Example: I enjoy the one on West Grey in Houston because its a local crowd and its lots of fun. I always had a blast here and enjoy the time I spent with local friends. It had a dive bar feeling to it and didnt feel like it was filled with tons of just people trying to hitched up and etc. Though, the one in Dallas is very Douche Bag Filled.. heheh I hate to say it.. But I still have fun. I just tend to make the best out of things. But yes you can expect alot of gorgeous women in the Dallas location, but you also have the spikey hair guy with Ed Hardy clothes on hitting on each and every single girl in the bar.. Personally I like getting a drink and playing darts.. But in Austin, I can see how they made it very close to the Dallas attire, but Austin has a different feeling.. More of a younger professional crowd. For years I wondered where all the younger professional's hung out at.. and now I know.. I had a good time, it was low key and had a great conversation with a close personal friend. The prices were good and food was decent and it worked out well. Its not my first choice of a bar/cafe but I wouldnt give it a thumbs down.. I would go..
by Dusti Ripp on This is the most diverse poetry venue in NYC, in my opinion. It is a historical place worth seeing, and the poetry on Friday nights is always top-notch. Make sure you arrive early, the place WILL fill up to capacity. It's not only about getting a good seat, it's also about getting in at all, especially on their biggest night (Friday).
