Description
Operating near the Grand Army Plaza station since 1983, this neighborhood staple blends Dominican cooking with a classic diner setup of big, puffy booths. The kitchen serves naturally seasoned Dominican and American plates from breakfast through dinner, including seasoned pork chops and complimentary buttered bread that tastes like Filipino merienda. The atmosphere is unhurried and family-oriented, kept warm by staff who chat with regulars about life back in the Dominican Republic.
