Sunnyside excursion - Mama's Empanadas

We have fond memories of a dinner party long ago that just consisted of multiple batches of the same cheese empanadas that a friend whipped up from scratch. I am looking forward to reliving the experience and branching out to other varieties at Mama's Empanadas in Sunnyside.

index_04.jpg


The extensive empanada-centric menu - http://www.mamasempanadas.com/menu.html - at this 24 hour establishment includes both corn and wheat varieties and savory and sweet options at astonishingly cheap prices (most around $1.50 or get the family size - 24 empanadas for $22.75). I am particularly curious to sample the dessert empanadas, including the Elvis - peanut butter and banana - and the Reese's Pieces inspired chocolate and peanut butter.


Where to find it?

Pop up gallery at Ten63 Jackson Ave

waf-lic-blogvite-final.jpg

In this exhibition, WE-ARE-FAMILIA will unveil its newest Keepsake Boxes and present works by the group's individual artists, all of who have drawn acclaim in their own right and individual careers. With over 24 artists featured, this will be the largest WE-ARE-FAMILIA exhibition to date. The exhibition will be split between a street level storefront open to the public and a penthouse apartment open by appointment only.


The show, entitled GENOGRAM, is a telling display of artwork that is diverse in its forms of expression (from photography to video to painting) yet finds common ground and tendencies. It is a study of family and families in all of their many forms, exploring circles of people, ideas, and traditions, and, drawing contributions from a majority of We-Are-Familia's members, maps a family tree of the collective itself. Featured artists include: Amy Ruppel, Anton Lopez, Chad Phillips, Chris Yormick, David Trumpf, Eliana Perez, Fabian Bedolla, Hisham Bharoocha, Jacob Williams, Jeff Lewis, Jesse Brown, Jennifer Garcia, Leah Ellis, Marc McAndrews, Mike Skinner, Peter Kienzle / Superette, Randy Lott, Nille Svensson/Sweden Graphics, Thundercut, Tobias Zarius, Tine Lundsfryd, Yoh Nagao and Brandon Downing of the Flarf Collective.


GALLERY HOURS
Weekdays from 4 to 9 PM.
Saturdays from 4 to 11 PM with DJ CEROCK.
Sundays from 4 to 8 PM.
Closed Mondays.
