When you’re a little stressed, spicy food will make you feel good – well, at least it makes me feel good. I had a great lunch from a local Pakistani spot, more of a hole in the wall, near my job called Lahore Deli @ 132 Crosby Street – just south of Houston Street.
There’s nothing more satisfying than a platter of rice, aloo baigan (eggplant and potato dish), chickpea dal, and peas – All for $5. I sprinkled some chili mango on top, and I was good to go.
