DEREK JETER'S CHEF OPENS TEQILA BAR IN MURRAY HILL

Derek Jeter's personal chef Lisa Schoen (who is also former executive chef at Saturday Night Live) is in command of the kitchen serving out tacos and tequila opening March 1st. Enjoy grilled talapia tacos with slaw and mango salsa, braised beef, shrimp salsa tacos with frizzled leeks.

Feast on mexican fare, Teqa burgers or grilled chicken sandwichs, salads, sides and deserts.

This 76 seat restaurant designed by Lesly Zamor has a chandelier made of 40 tequila bottles and has a selection of more than 100 tequilas and mezcals. Naren Young will manage this bar mixing up the cocktails.

Derek Axelrod the mastermind behind this neighborhood bar and restaurant who also headed product placement at his family's clothing company French Connection has plans to expand in the future.

I'm preparing myself for the Taco Tuesday's and Thursday night Happy Hour.
