This Dominican spot on the corner of Clinton and Rivington has been open in the neighborhood for over 40 years, and is one of our go-to spots when we’re looking for a sandwich that’s under $7. Their Cubano comes on a hard, crusty roll that holds all of the shredded pork shoulder, ham, cheese, and pickles in tightly. Add on a side of crispy tostones, but know the spot is cash-only.
Dominican Cravings in Essex Market serves great patacones, including the amazing breakfast version called “Tres Golpes.”
Rossy’s Bakery is a Dominican cafe in the East Village with cakes, rotating savory meals, and some very good red beans and rice.
El Rinconcito is a Dominican restaurant in the East Village that’s been around for over 20 years and makes some fantastic mofongo.
Evil Katsu is a former pop-up that now has a brick-and-mortar location in the East Village serving delicious katsu sandwiches.
