City GrubJosé: Tempura Calamari
Where: Eatery 798 Ninth Ave. at 53rd St. (212) 777-6500
Cost: $10
If you love fried calamari like I do, then jump on this for a twist. This is a tempura style calamari with Hijiki, fresh mango & white Ponzu sauce! The service is good and the atmosphere has a fun vibe.

Deena: Baby Arugula Salad
Where: Pomme Cafe 37-19 B’way (B’way & 38th St), Astoria, Queens (718) 545-4301
Cost: $5
Mmm! Warm goat cheese and honey, endives in a sherry vinaigrette. My Mom and I had a wonderful late lunch at Pomme Cafe the other day. Some items were okay, some were out of the park! It's a new place and definitely worth a visit.

José: Empanadas
Where: Favela Cubana 543 La Guardia Pl., West Village (212) 777-6500
Cost: $6.50
Yup! I’m featuring this place twice ‘cuz it was that good! These look small, but when you bite into them, it fills your mouth with all kinds of goodness. Now granted, it depends on what their empanadas of the day are, but if you like surprises like I do - I say go for it!
