Numu-Playa Potrero, Costa Rica
The first time we visited Playa Potrero in December, we dined at Numu twice (in three days). On our second trip, we visited again with new friends. Numu is an easy five minute walk from the beach and was easily the best food I have had in Playa Portrero. It is a lovely, open air […]
Falvo’s in Flight….
Central Standard at the South Congress Hotel offers an impressive wine list both by the glass and bottle as well as an innovative cocktail list. I gravitate towards small plates when visiting, but they also have excellent oysters, steak and seafood dishes. The asparagus salad with lump crab, radish, grapefruit and a garlicky tarragon aioli […]
