The Food section of Wednesday’s New York Times buried
this treasure in a list of recommended inexpensive restaurants. I don’t know if the reporter did so
consciously or unconsciously, it being the Times and all.
“6. La Morada
“This may be the only restaurant in town equipped with
a lending library whose holdings include Plutarch and Plath and a poster on
a purple wall calling for resistance to globalization. Natalia Mendez
and her husband, Antonio Saavedra, were once farmers in a small village in
Oaxaca, Mexico, with Mixtec as their first language. They took the risk of
crossing the Sonoran Desert and made their way to New York, where Oaxacan
cuisine is still hard to find.”
Not the kind of globalization where I cross borders to do business -- the
other kind!
