Dinner at Balaboosta in NYC

Had a ladies night at Balaboosta, which oddly enough is the Yiddish term meaning the perfect housewife, homemaker, wonderful mother, cook and gracious hostess.  We shared several apps and entrees and I was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was while generally tasting healthy.  It was a cute spot too for catching up and talking.  And right by the Churreria, which was sadly closed :(
Hummus "mortar and pestle" - tahini, roasted garlic, and za'atar pita.  Tasty but not enough pita

Patatas bravas with garlic aioli.  Tasty, but having just been in Spain, of course I had unreachable expectations

Crispy cauliflower with lemon, currants and pine nuts.  Enjoyed it but wasn't as wow-ed as the yelp reviews

A special of calamari, merguez, and giant white beans.  Definitely reminded me of food in Spain.  Very hearty

Spice rubbed skirt steak with rainbow peewee potatoes, cipollini, and tomato vinaigrette.  Something about the spice didn't sit too well with me.  Kind of tasted sweet?  The meat was well cooked, though the portion small
