What’s Up At 999 Manhattan Avenue?
Some of you might have noticed the rather abrupt departure of the psychic (as well as her rather adorable cat who can be seen above) who occupied the space adjacent to Papasitos. I have no idea as to her whereabouts (nor do I care to know: that woman was OBNOXIOUS).
However, I can tell you what’s taking her place: more Papasitos! Given how packed this restaurant gets (for a damned good reason: among other things their jalapeno poppers are amazing) doubling or tripling their seating capacity is stellar news for both Cody Utzman, this establishment’s owner, and diners alike. I can hardly wait to see what they do with the extra space!

hurrah for Papacito’s! though i will miss the cat. it was such a cutie-pie.
hopefully they will have more than one person working the restaurant floor, taking calls and processing payments. it seems to have become an overwhelming job for a lone soul given the popularity of the place

I’m glad someone else posted the massive DOH violation. I was about to link to it.
It’s not the only repeat offender in the neighborhood. But we now have them on ban until they clean up their act. And we liked them, and ate from there often.
Tell me what you're thinking...
