Although the Shake Shack, in Madison Square Park, is not new, it was not open during the winter. Delicious burgers, fries, soft ice cream, etc. Plenty of tables for al fresco dining. Go off hours in order to avoid the lines....

DaveMP likes the chorizo and eggs at Nena’s Restaurant, with mild Salvadoran chorizo. It comes with queso fresco, crema, refried beans, and inch-thick sopes. And the pumpkin pancakes are really fantastic–they still...

Made by hand while you wait.

Chowing around Santa Ana, kare_raisu found plenty that’s Chowhound-worthy.

Far Niente on Brand has good fish specials, and I think Fresco does, too. If it’s solely about the fish, though, get eat-in or take out at Fish King. In addition to their menu, they’ll grill anything in their fresh...

Hit 29 Newbury on Friday night not having been there for a long time. Ate there for the al fresco dining. Had drinks at the bar to start... $10.50 for a martini, ouch. They told us they had a brand new chef fresh from the Cordon...
