A Mexican Cantina Shines on Pearl
Hungry workers in the Financial District have a new option in Mad Dog and Beans. Located in the Pearl Street space that housed Gerardi's for many years until it closed last summer, this three-week-old, Mexican cantina serves all the standard fare you would expect, including homemade guacamole ($12), steak fajitas ($24), fish tacos ($17) and chiles rellenos ($18). And, there are all kinds of burritos for $15 (83 Pearl St., 212-269-1177).
