The Black Ant
The name of this East Village Mexican restaurant would seem to give it all away. And, to be sure, you’ll find black ant salt sprinkled onto your guacamole or rimming your smoky jalapeno margarita. But chapulines (grasshoppers) also make an appearance here: as the batter for your shrimp tacos, resting atop your croquettes, or as an appetizer in a small bowl.
