I went this past weekend to the Bulgarian restaurant “Bulgara<\/a>” in New York City. It is by no means the best Bulgarian place I’ve seen abroad.<\/p>\n

The place is extremly clean, tidy, the tables are covered with Bulgarian national-made cloths. It’s easy to find it, and cabs from Manhattan to this place would cost between $ 15 – $ 20, depending where you board.<\/p>\n

The food – delicious! We tried “meshana skara” (steak, kebabche, kufte, shish), the famous shopska salad, leshta chorba, and we were given complimentary for desert – baklava and tolumbichka, made by Natalia, who is a very gifted and skilled chef.<\/p>\n

One of the owners – Egor, was giving that Sunday free Bulgarian monthly newspaper – edited and printed in Las Vegas. He has also put a pile of calendars for 2006 with picture of a soccer team. When I entered, I thought it’s the CSKA – Sofia team. Nope! It was the Bulgarian New York Soccer team!<\/p>\n

So, going back to the food and services – extremly good. I will go again, I am sure. And will bring other people, too. Price was relatively low for New York City.<\/p>\n

And yes, the salads there are the normal way, that is without all the leaves and grass they usually make them in New York.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

P.S. from May 2006: I went there on several other ocasions. Still a great place. Met Egor Stoyanov – one of the owners. They will be putting tables on the sidewalk in the summer. As it’s also close to P.S. 1<\/a> (PS 1, PS one, the Contemporary Art Center in Queens), it will be a nice place to visit, if you want to have some decent food during the weekend walk at the Art Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
