BEST INDIAN
Aamchi Pao
194 Bleecker St.
Ten bucks will buy you a full meal of Mumbai street food at this sliver of a restaurant. Order a $4 chicken tikka pao (a tandoori chicken slider with mint chutney and roasted onions), a $3 side of Manchurian cauliflower (the same delicious dish served at Devi, where Chef Surbhi Sahni honed her craft), and a nimbu pani (a refreshing Indian lemonade with a touch of rock salt) for $2.50.
Egads! The address of Calexico is incorrect – it’s 122 Union Street between Hicks and Columbia!
Of course the best wine bar is called Terroir…alas.
