Mangoville - A Jerk You Will Love!

www.mangovillesoul.com
We are in the midst of Spring Break and as I watch  my friends post pictures of their Caribbean vacations, I begin to crave sun, sand and that delicious Island  food that pleases the palate as well as the soul. If you are like me and don't have a trip to the Islands scheduled, then get your sunlamp, lawn chair and  umbrella laden drink; and fetch a delicious plate of island cuisine from Mangoville. Don't leave without trying the Jerk Chicken. It will make you want to shout Ya-Mon!



Since  2010, Mangoville has offered the best Caribbean cuisine in Westchester county. As a family-owned restaurant, they keep all dishes traditional just like back in the islands. So keep it IRIE and bring a little island spice to your dinner table tonight.
Located@ 134 North Avenue New Rochelle, NY (914) 365-1032

Superbowl New Rochelle Style


Super Bowl Sunday- Ravens vs. 49ers @ 6:30pm
This Superbowl Sunday, focus on having fun instead of spending hours in the kitchen whipping up wings, chilli and burgers. Dine-in or take-out at one of New Rochelle's celebrated tailgate food restaurants.
Watch the Ravens and 49ers go head to head without the headache of having to cleanup after your uproarious guests.
33 LeCount Place
Buffalo Wild Wings
With too many jumbo sized flat screens televisions to count, BWW has a keen eye on every play-by-play you may have missed during your bathroom break. Get there early because seating typically fills up quickly on "Any Given Sunday". Try the super hot buffalo sauce and I guarantee you will be yelling for "The Waterboy".
310 Huguenot Street
Modern Pizza
If you have not had a chance to visit New Rochelle's newest hot spot, do so on Sunday. This cavernous space has a special viewing room complete with a gigantic television for you and 30 or so of your closest friends to crowd around. If the viewing room is not to your liking, grab a table or sit at the bar and take in the the LCD TV's hanging trough out the restaurant. From apps to primo beers on tap, Modern Pizza goes "The Longest Yard" for you.

22 Division Street

Posto 22
This neighborhood favorite where everyone knows your name, has one of the most coveted bars in town. If you have ever walked down Division Street and saw a crowd gathering, it must be 6pm @ Posto 22. Joe runs this elegant Italian restaurant like his personal kitchen and greets everyone with a familiar  "Good to see ya". Get there early so you don't get "Blind Sided" by the long lines.
19 LeCount Place
Fun Fusion 
Sunday, 5 p.m. . All ages welcome to watch Superbowl. Bring your "Little Giants" out for a day of family fun.

Welcome to 2013! New Rochelle has a ton of things on the horizon. Political change, new business and events. Take a peak into 2013 with me:

Alvin & Friends - Breaking News!!!!!!!!!!! Alvin & Friends is moving! Yes, the fantastically intimate restaurant on Lawton Street is expected to open in late January in the former Mo's Clubhouse Space.


PAC House - As always, the PAC house has something hip happening! This weekend head over for Salsa on the Sound. 

Noam Bramson- New Rochelle's Mayor has decided not to run for another term. Mayor Bramson's would is choosing to direct his interest towards becoming the next Westchester County Executive. Let's watch and see.


Modern Pizza- The new location (old one is still open) is something to behold. This is how you dine aldente in style. The former ballet studio on Hugenot Street is worth visiting simply to take a bow.

Indoor Flea Market- Make sure to stop by the new indoor Flea Market starting this Sunday @ 112 North Avenue. The first 100 customers will receive a free gift bag.
