Where to eat: The popular Peruvian chainlet Pio Pio, is literally one of my favorite spots in the Upper Westside… The food is delicious and the prices just can’t be beat. You can literally feed a small army for about $30. With five locations in the city, the “Salon” is my favorite and has the most space…Great place for casual birthday or dinner parties - and the Sangria is so yummy! Just had the best lunch yesterday with the crew - still dreaming about the sauce!

What to eat: Papa Rellena, the Matador combo (marinated rotisserie style chicken pio served with rice & beans, tostones, salchipapa and avocado salad), Tres Leches or the Flan for dessert is a must…just remember it’s all about the sauce!
