Their Hotdogs Dominicano have to be next. Three = $9.49.
Beef sausages, w shredded pork. Then mayo/ ketchup, lettuce/ corn, Ruffles, & cheese sauce. What the hey? Come on.
They also have what looks like a sandwich but the bread is a corn pancake.
At first I thought this was our third Peruvian restaurant, but I don't think so. This 'hood used to be thick w/ Indian restaurants, like, five at least. Now we just have that Indian taco place, Taco Mahal.

The chimichanga was a layer of shredded cheese on top, not much to photograph. But they love mozzarella, so I chose a fried stick for my freebie.
Los Munchies - yummy dipping sauces. Curious about their plantain sandwich…
It's Dominican! They have Hotdogs Dominicano. Their Salchipapa is sausage, not hot dog, and fries.

Front entrance of NYC takeout. Very yellow. A man is walking past.

Menu, paper plate with fried cheese stick, two dipping sauces in small ramekins.

New neighbor alert! Let’s welcome them *Los Munchies* had to try for the name alone.
They’re 9th just south of 42nd on your way to Port Authority, next to the replacement Philly cheesesteak place.
Hot dogs, empanadas, burgers, tacos, & lots of plantain choices.
I got a chimichanga mixta (chicken-pork), & they gave me a cheese stick cuz it took forever.
The dipping sauces reminded me of a Peruvian place; menu in next post.

Another trip to the city and couldn’t resist another stop at Nai Brother Sauerkraut Fish — now in Midtown.

Shrimp dry pot and a bowl of sliced fish in hot and sour soup.

No, this is not your starched up hot and sour soup from an everyday takeout. This dish is closer to the tangy hot Sichuan beef in golden broth tinted with pumpkin and Hainan yellow lantern pepper. Only it is much more sour.

On the day when New York is colder than Alaska, these two heat you up inside and outside.

Am I becoming addicted to this place?

Made it eight blocks before falling. There was plenty of snow, for a bit of a cushion.
(People aren’t really shoveling yet, since it’s still coming down.)

DOUG EARLE APPOINTED CEO OF WRHN FOUNDATION

After a 30-year career in fundraising Doug Earle has taken the role as the first CEO of the Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN) Foundation as it begins to fundraise for the new hospital campus scheduled to open in 2035.

The WRHN Foundation was established in May 2025 following the merger of St. Mary’s Hospital and Grand River Hospital and their respective foundations.

Earle was announced as CEO on Oct. 29, 2025, and will lead the foundation’s fundraising efforts for its three existing facilities and the new hospital campus located in the David Johnston Research + Technology Park at the University of Waterloo’s North Campus.

Before joining the WRHN Foundation, Earle was the CEO of the West Park Healthcare Centre Foundation in Toronto where he led fundraising for the hospital’s new building that opened in 2023. It was the tenth building that Earle had led the fundraising effort, but he joked that he still had the itch to work on another project.

“I’m not a maintainer, I’m a builder. I was looking for a new challenge, and this new hospital building is quite exciting to be a part of,” he said.

While it is not his first hospital project, it does hold a special meaning.

“I’ve never actually been at the beginning of a new building project. That’s my goal this time. To be here while we’re just starting the design, and I hope to be there when the staff move in,” Earle said.

The initial planning and application phase of the new hospital was completed this year with a $15 million contribution from the province. The WRHN is now actively working with the province to receive approval to move into the design phase, which will take two years to finalize.

The province funds 100 per cent of the design and planning phase, and 90 per cent of the construction costs. The WRHN Foundation and local governments are responsible for the construction phase’s remaining 10 per cent and all required equipment and infrastructure.

“If we get the go ahead in the spring budget, it’ll be about three years before the walls go up. Then it takes about two years for all the electrical work and quality testing. That’s when we would take possession, probably 2031, and our first payment would be due,” he said.

The second payment would be due in 2034, but before that, the WRHN Foundation will need to start fundraising for equipment in 2030.

“That’s about $30 million a year; it’s a lot of dollars,” he said.

Fundraising for the new hospital does not mean that new equipment and programs are on hold at WRHN’s Midtown, Queen St., and Chicopee campuses. One of the campaigns Earle is working on is to bring neurosurgery back to the Waterloo Region.

“We have not had a neurosurgeon for well over a decade. If you’re having an aneurysm and you’re in the ER, you know time is short. Right now, you have to go to McMaster, which is another hour of not getting treatment. We’ve submitted a plan to the Ministry of Health and we’re waiting to hear back,” Earle said.

Once approved, the WRHN Foundation will fund renovations at WRHN Midtown to support neurosurgery.

“We can run neurosurgery at Midtown for another ten years and then move all the equipment to the new hospital when it opens.”

Whether it is one-time or monthly donations, Earle said this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make an investment in healthcare.

“We’re the fastest growing region in the country and will be over a million people in ten years. The one thing that’s been consistent is the care and passion of our staff and the delivery of quality care. Now we have an opportunity to give them a building that is designed for them to deliver the best quality care possible,” Earle said.
