good n' cheap midtown eats: Celia's
after seeing a tip on Chowhound, we checked out Celia's latin restaurant on 9th Ave at 35th St. last week, and are happy to report - the place ROCKS. a huge list of daily lunch specials of yummy spanish food, and all are $5.25!!! we got the pernil (roast pork) and it was delicious, tender and nicely seasoned. with it came: yellow rice, saucy beans, a pile of fried plantains, a piece of buttered bread and 2 big chunks of lime. so much good food for 5 bucks. a great, authentic, midtown spot.
