We may be more afraid due to george bush, but are we safer? Being fearful does not necessarily make one safer. Fear can cause people to hide and cower. What do you think? Is killing thousands of innocent civilians okay when you are doing a little government makeover? Our country is in debt until forever, we don't have jobs, and we live in fear. We have invaded a country and been responsible for thousands of deaths. We have lost friends and influenced no one. No wonder most of the world thinks we suck. Thanks to what george bush has done to our country during the past three years, we do! Bush and the Republicans were not protecting us on 9-11, and we aren’t a lot safer now.

He always wore a tie, always with a Ronald Reagan button on it. More often than not, he would be smoking a cigarette as he brought the food to you, a good inch or two of ash dangling from the end and threatening to ruin your food. He may not be my favorite be he certainly was the most memorable person I encountered at La Rosita.

A mango or papaya batido to wash it down and, really, that was all the food anyone would need to get through an entire day. I really loved the Cubano sandwiches too. I arrived in NYC a pretty unadventurous eater; La Rosita helped open my palate to the many strange and wonderful foods of the world. Thanks so much for the many, many, many thousands of calories!

I didn't expect much when I first visited but my first cafe con leche sealed the deal- holy cow. I ate there every week, at least once weekly for years; during and after the big snowstorm in January 1996, La Rosita was one of the only restaurants open and my daily destination. Though I've sampled a few other dishes there, my steadfast favorite is black beans over yellow rice with two fried eggs over medium and fried maduros- with a cafe con leche or two, of course. I've also enjoyed their Cubano sandwich- unreal and so yummy. I fervently hope Eddie finds another space in the neighborhood!

However, I recently discovered the irresistable and delicious arepas, which I now have with eggs and bacon. Maybe I'll have platanos next time as well. For dinner I have always found the ropa vieja fantastic but tonight I tried the chuletas de cerdo, with black beans and white rice, and was thrilled by its succulence. I am hoping to get there in a day or two to try a cubano sandwich! I love Enrique and Eddy and all the waitresses. I cannot imagine how our neighborhood will exist without La Rosita! My best wishes to each of you for new beginnings in 2007. My personal morning favorite has always been café con leche with toast, scrambled eggs, white rice, black beans, and bacon.

And the cafe con leche... I've been away from New York for several years now, but I always remember La Rosita fondly, and am sad to hear that it is going! And the roast chicken was always delicious too! My usual – two eggs over easy over yellow rice with black beans, with a plate of fried sweet plantains on the side.
