The Perfect Housewife
Balaboosta, sister restaurant to Taim, is opening this weekend in Nolita. I am SO freakin’ excited for this. Ever since I moved out of the West Village, something has been lacking in my life. A constant stream of ginger-limeades and falafel is I think what it was (see above for the visual). I’m so happy to have the perfect housewife (what balaboosta is in Yiddish) be my new neighbor! The Israeli-Spanish-Italian menu is below.
