The Best Darn Empanada

he Tidbit of the Week: This week I let a fortune teller decide what I did on Sunday (see full video)

It led me to Gnome Nom Nom, a new deli in the Cotton Exchange downtown…

They have amazing bagels that they get from the Bronx, (if you’re from the North - this is your new bagel spot!) and Empanadas so good I will trade my firstborn for them.

^ for legal reasons this is a joke 😉
