A three-egg omelette at the Kingsbridge, Bronx, location of IHOP, one of five in the borough with oxtail as an option. H/T, from the NYC discussion boards of Hungry Onion: small_h, who has a mighty appetite. So do I — but it's a good thing I didn't get a short stack, too.

@cursedinternet The official address is 1061 St. Nicholas Ave. Snoeman has done his thing on neighboring blocks — 161 St., 162 St., and others — so "163 St." seems to be his way of keeping in rhythm.

Seen in passing: Hand-painted artwork by Snoeman (2023), Archie Grocery, St. Nicholas Ave., Manhattan. Snoeman's festive colors decorate what must be dozens of storefronts and street carts in Washington Heights; you'll find his work in Coney Island, too.

At Ricky Fruits, Vegetables & More, a Mexican grocery at the southern edge of Washington Heights, the ice pops known as bolis are stout and dense, almost like a frozen puree. This one, pica fresa, is flavored with the namesake spicy strawberry candy.

Ngapi yay is a pungent dipping sauce usually reserved for crudités; to the amusement of Burmese friends like Hnin Nwe Chaw (who comped me), I use it to dress pasta, too. At last month's New York Burmese Water Festival, Parish house of St. James Episcopal Church, Elmhurst, Queens

A pulled pork lonche bañado, bathed in a slightly spicy tomato sauce, at Mexican sandwich shop Macario, Park Slope, Brooklyn. It's half-sauced when served, while the other half stays warm till you're ready. Eventually there's more sauce than sandwich; that's what spoons are for.

An Albanian sampler, free for all while the food lasted, at this past weekend's Gjergj Kastrioti Skenderbeu Fair, Belmont, Bronx. Also shown, and widely displayed elsewhere throughout the festival, too: the flags of the United States, Albania, and Kosovo.
