As I mentioned earlier in my post about our trip to the Galapagos, Peru is still at the top of our \u201cmust visit before kids\u201d list. Seeing Macchu Picchu will have to wait until next year at least, but in the meantime, we were happy to be able to try some Peruvian cuisine when Josh\u2019s parents suggested we go to Pio Pio for Sunday night dinner.<\/p>\n
We headed to the Upper West Side branch of the restaurant, and it was a good thing we called for a reservation because the place was packed, and there were nine of us altogether. The music they were playing was loud and upbeat, which made the atmosphere seem very festive. Our table wasn\u2019t quite ready yet when we arrived so we squeezed ourselves by the small bar area and ordered a pitcher of sangria to start. The sangria is pretty decent, not awesome, but also a bit dangerous because it\u2019s sweet and goes down like juice.<\/p>\n
