Chimichurri Isn’t That Song from Mary Poppins

(And it's not that green sauce/marinade for steak, either...)

Jon and I took a walk on Saturday—a really, really, really long walk—along the Hudson River from 14th street all the way up to 155th Street…and then back.

At 148th Street, just a little north of Riverbank State Park right on the Hudson, we took a break and had one of the best burgers we've ever eaten. Oh, chimichurri. How come you taste so good?

These Dominican burgers smell amazing and taste even better. We had our first chimichurris last summer when we did the north leg of this walk. (We didn't have the feet to make the return trip home.)

Lucky for us, the chimichurri cart was in the same spot at 148th street in the park today as it was last summer. And lucky for you too, so if you're in the neighborhood drop by. Or go for a walk to explore one of the least touristy strips of Manhattan and to have a burger you'll remember for years to come.

these burgers were so good. I had mine with everything on it...lettuce, tomato, onion, everything. Others (like Mr. Oatmeal Cookie himself) did without the onion and tomato. It's so true that this is a part of the city -- on the far northern and western edge of Riverside Park -- that many New York seldom see, but it's beautiful and worth checking out for the chimichurris alone!

These are too good to have only once a year. Either I'm going to learn how to make these myself or we're taking another walk this weekend.
