91 First Avenue between 5th and 6th Streets 212/614.9333 $60 for two, BYOB, without tip ♥ Because it’s the only Sri Lankan restaurant in Manhattan, Sigiri is a gem.

Miss Geolouxy volunteered her services to accompany me for my second search for a good taco. It was after work so we decided to meet at Astor Place and work our way up and down First and Second Avenues from 1st to 10th Streets. I didn’t bring a list of places since the east side…
