Quiero Arepas

When you only make one thing, you’d better make it right. Igor and Beckie Panasewicz had compiled more than a decade of experience serving Venezuelan cuisine from their food truck and at the Avanti food hall when they finally opened their own Platt Park brick-and-mortar in 2019. Their experience shows in the restaurant’s succulent meats, […]

Radha Govinda’s

Vegans, rejoice: Radha Govinda’s serves up an all-you-can-eat buffet that’s now entirely plant-based. The restaurant is only open four days a week, but it’s worth the wait to get yourself in the door. The menu changes daily; check the website for the current choices. The prices at Govinda’s make eating well extremely reasonable, and on […]

Raleigh Street Bakery

David Kaminer’s bakery isn’t an efficient, commercial facility with gleaming ovens and mixers, nor is it an artisan storefront in a trendy neighborhood or market hall.

Through its drive-thru windows, it doles out some of the diviest drunk food north of the border: tacos, tortas, quesadillas, taquitos, nachos and huge mounds of carne asada fries blanketed […]

The Rally Bar

Stepping into this stylish bar across from Coors Field in McGregor Square is like walking into a modern work of art. It’s full of angles, shapes, texture and color – even the taps are built into a long, shiny pipe rather than the run-of-the-mill wall. Cocktails, like the signature purple-hued Rally Up, with butterfly pea […]

Ramen Star

Ramen Star opened on a quiet Sunnyside street in 2019 with a couple of secrets hidden inside. First: a high-tech noodle machine that allows the kitchen to turn out springy ramen noodles every day (when most ramen shops purchase pre-made noodles). Second: Its dedication to building layers of flavor in its broths using traditional ingredients […]
