The Best of Times + Colibrí
Well, the Flyer´s delighted me, and made all of my foolish decisions worthwhile with a stunning road victory in overtime against the Caps. I was riotously inebbriated, drinking liberal pours of Woodford Reserve that I brought along to my new favorite bar in Nicaragua. (they let me drink my own liquour there, I think I paid 50 cents for each glass of ice! Amazing)
Additionally I finally made it to that delicious restaurant I missed out on because of Flyers´ game 6. Its called Colibrí, ¨hummingbird,¨ and features mediterranean cuisine. I don´t have it with me but I wrote a review of the meal I had afterwards. It went something like this:
A meal, a setting, that dissolves the line between first and third world. The cuisine here can easily challenge that of any trendy Hell´s Kitchen locale. Remarkable attention to detail, perfect service, comforting and colorful. Worth ammending any itinerary to bring you closer to this culinary paradise.
Seriously, they deserve all amounts of praise. My meal began with premise made sangria and a hummus plate for starters. The main course was Spanish Meatballs in a spicy tomato mushroom sauce with olives and peas. I finished the meal with my salad: spinach and baby greens, croutons, tomatoes, onions, avocado, seared garlic… and to blow away all the competition real basalmic vinegar! (restaurants in nicaragua have a woefull tendancy to serve oil with white wine vinegar).
What a joy that was, it was really the best of times.
