Weekend Finds: The Korean BBQ, Icelandic Boutique, and Dalí Exhibit We Loved

"After reading about Nene's Deli Taqueria last week, I decided to center my Saturday around a walk to Bushwick to try the place for myself. Reader, it did not disappoint. Currently operating out of a blink-and-you'll-miss-it bodega near Maria Hernandez Park, the taqueria is known primarily for its birria—beef or goat meat (usually the latter) marinated in adobo and then cooked slowly as a stew. Among the menu options: birria heaped over cheese-coated, chili-stained tortillas, sprinkled with a healthy helping of chopped red onion and cilantro; cheese-laden tortas stuffed with birria and all the fixings; thick sopes hidden under a mountain of more birria and more fixings. Another draw? A Tapatío Ramen cup filled with noodles and covered in that rich birria stew. We walked our haul of dishes over to the park and scarfed everything down with a couple of Modelos—an ideal antidote to the frigid temps."
