• Empanda Mama - A great little South American restaurant. Visited Wednesday of last week while working in NYC. Socrates Nanas, who founded this restaurant with the owner of the Mama’s Empanadas chain in Queens, has a foolproof plan to feed the masses: big flavors in small packages. The menu of more than forty empanadas—stuffed and sealed wheat- or corn-based shells—is designed to hit a nostalgic nerve. 763 Ninth Ave., New York, NY 10019
