Finally we're in May. Sunday night I did a little two street pickup on my way to have dinner at Henry's on Broadway and 105th. When I first mentioned Henry's on this blog in July 2006, it had no website; now it does. Uh, oh. I don't want anyone else to know about it besides all of us.

Looks like a good place for a restaurant, right there on the corner, right? But restaurants have come and gone with great frequency over the last 25 years. Meanwhile the Indian Café down the block endures. It was there that I first had that green sauce with the intoxicating flavor – I didn't know it was cilantro back then. I'd never heard of cilantro. Oh, how our lives have been enriched.
