Today I had the opportunity to try Merrywell Upstairs for lunch. I’m not big on American food, but seeing as the Merrywell Burger ($22) is apparently one of the best burgers around here, I thought I’d give it a go. The burger bar is Merrywell Downstairs, but we have an Entertainment Guide discount only for the Upstairs section. According to the online menus, Upstairs served a burger (the Merrywell Angus Burger) that was almost the same as Downstairs, the main difference being served with a brioche rather than...

I was catching up with a friend during a long lunch break and since she works right across the road, we decided to meet at Paco's Tacos.

I don't have time to write in detail or edit my photos at the moment, but I thought the food was quite good. Altogether we paid about $15 each, including rice. Banchan for today was taugeh,...
