Show Mom Some Organic Love
GustOrganics is one of my favorite restaurants in the City. It’s the only USDA certified organic restaurant (and bar) in New York City. I’m a meat eater and the owner is Argentine, so they really know how to make a steak. Plus there is something for everyone from vegetarians to people like me.

What My Kids are Giving Me
If you are crazy for soccer and still want to do something for Mom, here you go. My kids are taking me to Smithfield NYC to watch Barcelona try and win the La Liga championship (Spain’s premier league) against Atletico Madrid. Even though I’m pictured here with the Barcelona fan club, I’m rooting for Atletico Madrid because of my countryman Falcao who plays striker for Madrid. My five-year old loves Falcao and I have to admit he is fun to watch.
The food at Smithfield is very good. It is made with local ingredients. They serve craft beers from around the world. I don’t normally hang out at soccer bars, but my family and I like Smithfield and you will too.
The Game is at 1pm, but you have to get there at least 1 hour before to get a table.
