A few nights ago, my friend Emily treated me to a VIP ticket to see OneRepublic in concert at Terminal 5. She knows the drummer, which is how she scored 5 free tickets to such a fab show. The concert was incredible- I have always like OneRepublic but must admit I was surprised by how good their live show was. Also, just to name drop a bit, we chatted with Gavin DeGraw before the concert (um, cool) and apparently Lea Michele & Jonathon Groff (from Glee- which is a totally different obsession of mine) were at the concert as well (too bad I didn't get to see them). Needless to say, I felt like a celeb and loved every second of it.

Anyway, the point of this post is to share with you the hidden gem of Hell's Kitchen Emily took me to after the concert. Two words that will change the lives of all you late night latin food lovers: Empanada Mama. Go there now. First of all, it is open 24 hours but is (thankfully) missing the skeezy, brightly lit vibe most all night joints have. Second of all, this place is CHEAP. Most of the empanadas run around $2.50 each, and I would say 2-3 would fill a person up. They have tons of filling choices and you can choose between wheat and corn flour outsides. I thought it was beyond good (and I swear it wasn't the beers I had beforehand talking), and you can't beat a $5 late night (or day time) bite.
