Venezuelan Plates and Sotol Cocktails in Chelsea
Cachapas meet inventive pours inside a minimalist room with limited seating.
🌽 Cachapas and Cocktails
A few blocks from the Chelsea gallery circuit, White Maize gives Venezuelan classics a precise, restrained setting. The menu moves from cachapas and arepas to crispy empanadas, with signature sauces and inventive sotol cocktails in the mix. The kitchen pairs that polished approach with authentic, filling dishes designed for sharing. The menu also covers gluten free and vegan diners, while the cocktail list keeps the drink side in step with the food for a mixed table.
At 228 West 18 Street in Manhattan, the minimalist room keeps the focus on the food and curated cocktail list. For a group dinner or a first date, book ahead for the limited seating before heading over. The restaurant opens at noon Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, closing at 10 PM on each of those days. Friday runs from noon to 11 PM, and Monday is closed.
