Rayuela

Selected Restaurant

165 Allen Street, New York, 10002 [Map]

Rayuela, pronounced rye-u-well-a, is a freestyle Latino restaurant on the Lower East Side and derives its name from the novel by Julio Cortazar and is the Spanish word for hopscotch. The chequered theme runs not just through the décor, but is woven into the bold and innovative menu that captures the abandon with which executive chef Máximo Tejada taps into Spanish, Mexican, Caribbean and Asian cuisines.

This spacious and glitzy restaurant has several comfortable lounge and dining areas with subtle lighting and pulsating music. The high point of the décor is a beautiful olive tree on the first floor, with its long leafy arms reaching the main dining rooms on the second floor, through an opening. In the dining room upstairs, soft couches nestling up to the tables and linen curtains spell style as well as comfort.

While the menu is in sections for soups, salads and appetisers or mains, a few of the dishes, defying classification, like in the game of hopscotch, would move categories, depending on whether one stops here for brunch, cocktails or dinner.

Some of their specialties are the grilled scallops with lobster coconut rice and the tuna rellena, made up of thin slices of tuna forming a pouch around crab, shrimp and a chipotle aioli to tickle the palate.

Similarly, the lobster revolution yields layers of effects - the sweetness of grilled pineapple and the tropical waft of coconut and lemon grass giving way to a blaze of jalapeño while the tremendously flavorful arroz con pollo comes with slices of chicken breast fanning out around paprika-seasoned rice, generously laden with chicken sausage and cubes of meat.

The homemade bread cleverly combines yucca flour, cheese, milk, butter and leaves a lingering taste in your mouth, as do the desserts, particularly the apricot tart. The great food is ably supported by the creative cocktails and the extensive wine list leaning mainly towards Spanish and Latin American varieties.

Mealtimes here can be quite crowded so we recommend booking a table well in advance, their Website should help you to make that decision.

Fair Deal Cafe

Featured Restaurant

253 Mamaroneck Avenue, White Plains, 10605 [Map]

Fair Deal Café opened its doors over 18 years ago and is the brainchild of Koshy Chacko whose single handed determination to go beyond his humble beginnings to realize his dream has won him several accolades. Being located close to shopping areas and theatres in the affluent White Plains suburb has its own advantages; it certainly ensures a steady stream of shoppers and theatre-goers, and who would not love to relax over a reasonably priced, premium quality meal after a day of retail therapy.

The atmosphere is fun and friendly and definitely one for all to enjoy, while the banquet hall is truly a place for all occasions. There’s even a meeting room for the corporate honchos and al fresco dining for those who prefer fresh air and sunshine at lunchtime.

The cooking takes in influences from Italy and Spain and also works in tandem within the American culinary lexicon. For a start, the breakfast menu brings a delightful set of choices such as bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, pancakes, waffles, bagels and freshly baked scones. If you like a steaming cup of coffee there are plenty of flavors to look forward to, think vanilla hazelnut and French vanilla.

Different options grace the lunch and dinner menu each day of the week to prevent the palate from slipping into boredom. Once you’ve dealt with those Monday morning blues settle down, perhaps, with a chicken noodle soup, kielbasa with pepper or meat lasagna. From Tuesday through to Friday, the repertoire ranges from fresh roasted turkey and haddock scampi to spaghetti arrabiata and Salisbury steak. If daily combos and chicken from the rotisserie seem enticing, just plump for the boneless ribs, fish nuggets, meatballs and fillet of flounder. An interesting range of side dishes include dilled potatoes, spinach and mushrooms, herbed corn and carrot tarragon.

The delicious smoky flavor of meat which arrives sizzling hot off the grill has made many taste buds twirl and Fair Deal’s grilled chicken sandwich, pastrami or corned beef and Philly cheese steak roll are all there for those who wish to tread the meatier terrain. If you prefer to eat light there’s a gourmet salad of potato, macaroni and coleslaw, tuna or the tri-color pasta, which keeps the Italian flag flying high.

Fair Deal prefers to be known as a service rather than a stereotypical business; it’s all about keeping costs low and not compromising on quality. If you wish to know more about their activities such as off-premises catering, party planning and various packages and pricing that are on offer, then a visit to their Website is highly recommended.
