Description
Located at the SE corner of 6th Avenue and 47th Street, this subway-station nook serves up a rotation of savory fillings like spinach and feta, ground beef, and a highly recommended ox tail empanada. The pastry is rich enough to stain its paper bag, and you can pair them with a side of green sauce. While a trio of these empanadas can quickly add up in price, the owner behind the counter is known for explaining the options with friendly detail.
