To my new site I hope to fill this site with interesting details about Puerto Rico and other events that may impact Puerto Ricans directly and the rest of the hispanic community in the D.C. metro and N.Y.C. area.

Its already November and latino month is hot. I just got this great email from latinvip.com about the up coming flavor of Peru featuring classic peruvian dishes.

Flavors of Peru is back, on November 19th, in Washington DC, at Las Canteras Restaurant. This is the cuisine that legendary French Chef and Culinary writer Auguste Escoffer called one of the best in the world and Chef Todd English just called the next big thing. Cocktails begin at 630PM, and guests will be introduced to a Multi-Course Peruvian Dinner at 7PM, that includes our Ceviche, Causa, Lomo Saltado and a Lucuma Mousse, paired with our PiscObama Sour, Cuzquena beer, Inca Kola and wine. There will be a fantastic Peruvian dance show for the pleasure of the guests..
