Ethiopian. Harlem. This Trip Is Getting Real.

After a quaint SoHo pizza tour and upscale BBQ near Madison Square Park, it's time to take this food tour in new direction. Enter our adventure in Harlem for (drumroll please) Ethiopian cuisine. I myself have never had Ethiopian, nor have I ever thought to myself, self, let's go get some Ethiopian food. But one thing I can say is that I am always up to try something new, so off we went to discover the flavors of Ethiopia.

First, I will say, I loved everything we ate. It is unlike anything I have ever experienced, probably closest to Indian food in my opinion but unique in it's presentation and overall flavor. And inexpensive. A full belly for only $5? I'll take that deal any day!

To be honest, I couldn't tell you what we ordered and I could barely distinguish between what was what. Maybe it was better that way because i had no preconceived notion of what I "thought" I would like. Trying everything blind allowed me to truly enjoy the flavors and possibly give things a chance that I normally wouldn't have.
