Sweet Pepper
This spot is Permanently Closed.
Sweet Pepper is a counter-service spot in Lincoln Square with delicious Venezuelan arepas - corn cakes with things like pulled pork, avocados, and shredded gouda. They also have rice bowls, salads, and fantastic deep fried sweet plantains, which are cut in half and filled with your choice of ingredients. Come here for a quick lunch or casual weeknight dinner, and then walk around the square so you don’t immediately go home for a nap.
