Howdy, folks. Nacho Radio is returning from a brief hiatus so prepare yourselves. Many of you may be pumping yourselves up for the usual Friday night shenanigans like cribbage and canasta. Me, I need something to get the ol’ juices flowing as I watch my World Champion New York Yankees mosey up Broadway. Now if I get arrested (FYI I get REALLY angry when parades don’t include candy) this may be my anthem for freedom! Or just Yankees victory.

Some of you fools probably think Nachos are some fake Mexican food item that someone cooked up at the ball park with chili cheese sauce when they ran out of hot dogs. Surprise, surprise. It is legit Mexican food, at least at its origin.

We have received plenty of flak from nacho lovers alike that we rarely make out way out of Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan. Thanks to the Avett Brothers show at Terminal 5 on Saturday evening, we were thrown into unknown waters. We found Lime Jungle on 9th Avenue between 53rd and 54th Street.

Holy Ghost Tent Revival were back in town this past week. Before a show at the Living Room, we got together for some happy hour nacho action at Piano’s. Before 7, the Grand Piano Nachos are only $5. We got 6 plates.

Guess what folks. We found a restaurant that has happy hour nachos. At Mole between 4-7 you can indulge in $3 beers, $5 Margaritas, and (drum roll please) $5 Nachos! $5 Chips and Guacamole!

Nachos NY is going back to Mercury Lounge tonight to see And The Moneynotes. As you may recall we interviewed these guys a few weeks back and they had some interesting things to say.

Please, join the Nacho King of New York, Mr. Lee Frank and myself at the Mercury Lounge tonight. This will be the first of two trips to the Lower East Side this week. Lee and I will be attending The Morning After Girls concert tonight. Tomorrow the self-declared official band of all things ‘cho And the Moneynotes will be back on stage in the city.

As you should know by now, And The Moneynotes were kind enough to shoot the shit with us about all things ‘cho. They were kind enough to play along with our redonkulousness and answered a few questions only Nachos NY could ask. So what does this mean for you, the every day nacho fan who wants their share of the nacho lovin’ spotlight? Well this week we are opening up the questions to you.

Before their set at Union Pool, And The Moneynotes discussed the pros and cons of queso, the ultimate plate of ‘chos, and when they learned about the “chips and the cheese.” In the days to come, we’ll bring you more glorious bits and ask you survey questions regarding your nacho preferences with potential for prizes and fame.

This past weekend wore me out. I couldn’t even muster up enough energy to see Ida Maria at the Bell House or An Horse at Mercury Lounge on Sunday. Instead ‘Chos and Shows weekend capped off with me passed out on our couch watching episodes of Happy Days and The Jetsons Movie. After the week we had, I can’t complain. We ate at Art Bar, Belmont Lounge, and San Loco all while attending concerts with The Hold Steady, Nicole Atkins and the Sea, The Avett Brothers, and Rochester’s own Auld Lang Syne. Let’s take a look at some pretty nacho pictures described only as they should, with song lyrics from the previously mentioned bands.
