I walked by and the big yellow "C" grade is hanging in the the window of El Castillo (affectionately know as El Carneviento) on Flatbush Avenue. Usually, when I walk by it is crowded with folks getting breakfast sandwiches but not today.

Duh, of course. C = Carneviento.
generic signature! -
seriously. We don't eat there because we think it is health food.
For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor. -
But a C is a passing grade.
As in...
Pass me some more o' that chuleta de puerco.
i extend my battery life by turning down the brightness -
or, "C you there" under the mighty meat vent.

C as in delicious CUBAN sandwich!
Letter grades don't mean anything, most A grades are paid off. Diane Sawyer just had an expose on it (though I already knew it from living in other states and seeing it happen)

So does this mean another happy hour at Sharlene's to support Carneviento (and eat some pernil?)

It could.
But we could also just eat at Carniviento
....I think they have beer for those who want it.

Now I'm craving mofongo.

F the DOH. I'm going to keep getting mamey shakes, fried shrimp and pork chop sandwiches, pastelitos, and cheap, mediocre espresso.

You're being kind when you call their espresso "mediocre."
...not that there's anything wrong with that. -

Well we are getting close to Festivus time !
-
was it a "C" or a "Si"?
I've used sarcasm before. It makes me feel really smart. -
Decor is spartan enough.
Imagine that:
POLLO Y POLO.

Peeps, lets make this happen! Dinner at Carneviento and late night drinks at Sharlene's (pets allowed at the ladder) for Festivus?

I'm guessing, I put in so much sugar that's it more like that slush the day after it snows. But it is better than their coffee

Mougar, how often do you eat NYC slush that you know it is similar to their coffee?
....and people say I need a hobby. Mougar is eating slush!

Nah, it only looks the like the slush. I can confidently say it tastes 53% better (+/- 15% depending on trash concentration).

White Castle has an "A" proudly displayed.
