filipino food recommendations?
Karihan Ni Tata Bino came highly recommended but apparently they've closed down, does anyone have other places they like? I'd especially love a place with good pulutan (food that goes with beer), like sisig or inihaw na pusit.
(Bonus points if anyone's got the name of a good place to order lechon from!)

718.606.1791I tried Sally's, Renee's, Krystals, Ihawan. Out of these I think I liked Perlas the best. My filipino friends were not too impressed with Renee's but don't get me wrong I didn't have an unsatisfying meal at either of these places. I heard about Lourdess being better but its next on my list when I get a Filipino craving.

There is a small filipino community at 69th Street on the 7 train. When you get off you will see Krystal's Bakery which is open pretty late and they got a buffet lunch on weekdays for around $6. Decent food for the money but nothing spectacular. On that block on 69th and 70th you will see several like Sally's, Renee's Kitchen, and
Ihawan went downhill a bit and has seen better days.
There is also a Krystals in Manhattan on 1st avenue and around 13th street. Across the street is also Elvie's Turo Turo which is the only place in Manhattan that I found that sells Balut. Not much feathers in them. I think they get them from Canada.
There is also Cendrillion on Mercer Street in Manhattan north of Grand Street. I'd recommend Sally's, Renee's, and Perlas in Woodside. I still like going to Krystals for the cakes and buns. All serve a great Halo Halo too!

I would say that the best place for those meaty items is Ihawan. They do bbq, lechon (not sure about a whole pig) and the like. They don't stay open late, though, so not sure about snacking and beer drinking past 8:30pm or so.
