Mon Sep 11 22:34:31 -0700 2000 0 Jen 1 1250353 I've only been there once (and it was absolutely sinful), and they were $2.50 for an arepa con queso. Fri Sep 15 00:47:54 -0700 2000 1250326 0 Heather 2 1250476 Where, pray tell, is the Arepa Lady? Mon Sep 25 16:22:47 -0700 2000 1250353 0 Jenn 3 1250478 "They seek her here, they seek her there, those Chowhounds seek her everywhere" But they can only find her under the El on Roosevelt Ave. in Jackson Hts. (For tips on exact location and optimum timing for finding the Arepa Lady, not to mention hints on what to order, try a search from the Home Page, voluminous hits will result.) Mon Sep 25 17:40:32 -0700 2000 1250476 0 Helen 4 1250484 I love the way he describes her in that article. I think the Arepa lady is Jim Leff's equivalent to Jim Morrison's ghostly indian chief that keeps appearing to him wherever he goes. She's the ghost of the Arepa Ladies of time immortal. Does she really exist? Or is she behind the Doors of Perception?

OOPS .. just noticed I was responding to a post that is over 5 yrs old ...no wonder I got the 404 Sat Jul 29 11:11:27 -0700 2006 1250479 11004 SLO 1 1774319 Regarding "Arepera" I think you mean palindrome (read the same forwards and backwards) and not onomatopoeia. Regarding Arepas, I'm not sure where you're from, but there are a few serviceable Arepera's in Manhattan. Flor's Kitchen was the original, but Caracas Arepa Bar is the best. Of course, this doesn't quite rival the carts out at the Red Hook Ball Fields, or anything you could find on the street in Venezuela, but it's a pretty good facimile. Fri Jul 28 21:54:49 -0700 2006 1774309 11395 keith 1 1774364 Hey, now we're talking Chowhound... the new site is officially christened... an arepa lady post! (where has Mina been lately? Dom's on the board). At any rate, I'm not sure you (keith) realize that you've responded to an over 5 year old thread (Perlow?!) but I have a question for you: are there arepas at the Red Hook ballfields? I get the papusas, the enchiladas, the tacos, the ceviche & the tortillas. Where are the arepas? I want some. Thanks. Fri Jul 28 22:16:52 -0700 2006 1250326 11394 Steve R 2 1775108 i haven't seen arepas at the ballfields, so you will have to bring your own if you want some. Sat Jul 29 11:04:31 -0700 2006 1774364 10345 babar ganesh 2 1785865 I have seen Arepas at the Red Hook Fields. Also I've seen lots of Salvadorian pupusas. And of course some delicious tacos. the post I was responding to above, was from someone who posted the same thing on every single arepa post on the board. The moderators subsequently removed that post, but left mine, making me look like I was responding to a non-existant post. Thu Aug 03 19:20:57 -0700 2006 1774364 11395 keith 1 1775007 Damn inflation. Just had one tonight and it's up to 3 bucks.

Sat Jul 29 05:54:05 -0700 2006 1250326 10496 squid kun 2 1775405 Just went to her page and saw that she's single!!!! Now for any single guys out there that REALLY love her Arepas....well just think: if things work out, you could get them free!!!!
