My good friends own this place and it is very unique. They also own The Pharmacy which is another hot spot I listed. This is a great place for dinner and cocktails, a bit casual and priced just right. It is a mix of a Texan cuisine of Mexican and German food. Delicious and like nothing you have ever tried with a bit of a NY ambiance.

Manuel is a brilliant clothing designer and I am proud to have his family as friends. He has designed clothing from the biggest in the industry including Johnny Cash, Hank Jr, The Beatles, The Stones and many many more. He has a shop on Broadway that I highly recommend you check out. It is open to the public. The prices are rather high but the experience is worth it and you never know who you might run into.
