NY: Washington Heights and Inwood Get Their First Restaurant Week
This announcement comes just in time to undermine the many bathing suit and jort work out promises I’ve been making myself for summer: tomorrow, Washington Heights and Inwood are kicking off their first ever restaurant week! Just 18 restaurants are participating in this inaugural week – running Wednesday, May 15th and running through Sunday, May 26th – and not surprisingly about a third of them are Latin. Time to indulge the foodie fantasies! Here are the restaurants participating:
809 Sangria Bar and Grill
This Nuevo Latino spot features a Caribbean menu (its name pays homage to the area code in the DR), and a bajillion varieties of sangria. This isn’t really a quiet dinner spot – the music is usually turned all the way up – but if you’re looking for a place to get prendido/a before going out, look no further.
Restaurant Week Deal: Receive 15% DISCOUNT on one (1) CHURRASCO entrée or Sangria Pitchers.
Cafe Tabaco Y Ron
This restaurant somewhat confusingly bills itself as “Italian International,” but its menu is, in fact, predominantly pan-latin. Offerings include quesadillas, mofongo, ceviche mixto, ropa vieja and yuca melt, something they call “latin caesar salad.”
Restaurant Week Deal: Receive one (1) FREE DESSERT with any one (1) DINNER entree order.
