I was tempted by the bratwurst and currywurst, but ended up going with the pan-seared catfish tacos.

Nothing special about the salad. A lot of filling in these tacos, which made them quite messy to eat. A little heavy on the onions and mayo, but the catfish was delish. Soft and moist with a nice browned crust. Quite generous with the number of catfish strips too.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 444px; left: 101px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We just moved to NYC a couple months ago and haven\u2019t really explored the city much, including our own neighborhood.
