Friends foodie Jennifer Aniston has unveiled plans to open her own restaurant in a tony section of New York City.

The actress is hoping to indulge her love of cooking and spicy cuisine with an upscale Mexican joint in the heart of the Big Apple, Hollywood.com reports. The Marley & Me actress will follow in the footsteps of Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria Parker, who owns her own Mexican American restaurant in Los Angeles called Beso.

Ramblings of Jen’s plan to open the establishment hit the Rumor Mill last summer, but the actress only recently confirmed that she is in chats to join the food industry.

“If all goes well I hope to open a Mexican restaurant in New York City in 2010. I love Mexican food. I’ll mingle with customers and be a guest waitress,” she said.
