Restaurant Review: Barrio Chino
Located in the midst of the Chinese and Hispanic districts of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Barrio Chino (spanish for China Town) pays homage to the two cultures by serving up authentic Mexican fare while incorporating Asian accents and decor.

Green Chili, Spinach & Artichoke Dip
It’s decided. From now on, this is the only spinach artichoke dip I will serve. Not that all other spinach artichoke dips aren’t delicious, but this one takes it to a whole new level. The addition of the green chilies and jalapeños not only elevate the flavor, but add the perfect amount of heat. If you aren’t afraid of a little…
