The Avett Brothers played their second show in New York City on Saturday. Most of the “Nacho Collective” was in attendance for the third night of the ‘Chos and Shows Festival. Unofficially renamed “Screw You Bonnaroo,” Julia, Jason, Chris and I basked in the raw energy of TAB and feasted upon nachos following the show, not once, but TWICE all in an evening for the ages.

After a strange tweetup, I won’t name any names (cancelled tv show), I took Julia, a new to NY nacho lover and soon to be Nacho correspondent of some kind, to Blind Pig on suggestion from a friend.

We arrived and were given a seat on lovely 14th st, so we could watch drunk kids walk by after a free pizza at the Crocodile Lounge. We ordered the nachos and no drinks, the waitress, was unimpressed, still NACHOS:

This week in a move that will likely be seen as a few (hundred) steps backwards on the journey to the best nachos, I stopped by Taco Bell in Union Square after seeing this sign.

This post could have been terribly angry due to the strangely poor service. The girl at the counter gave me the wrong burrito, gave my burrito to some guy and then told me I was wrong, but lucky for you, this is a Nacho blog, not an “Am I happy at a Restaurant” blog. So, let’s move on.

Here’s the extra special video also taken at Uncle Moe’s. Glowing recommendations all around.

It was a Wednesday and I was alive, so I thought it a good time for nachos. [Editor's note: It always is a good time for nachos]. Being in the Union Square region on some important business, I thought I’d go to a nearby spot. Settling on Uncle Moe’s Burritos, I met up with Rachel and Sara outside.
