🍲 Homestyle Cooking
A day around the Met Cloisters has a Dominican food detour nearby. At 7 Henshaw St, Cloisters Grill serves homestyle cooking with braised oxtail and mofongo among the dishes to consider. The restaurant is unassuming, with a cozy, familiar atmosphere that recalls a meal in a family home. Keep this stop in mind when the outing turns from museum wandering to finding something to eat.
Prepared food waits at the counter, alongside a menu that includes tender beef, moist chicken, bacalao and sancocho de habichuelas. Browse those options before settling on an order.
