"Tu Cachapa (“Your Cachapa”) is a gleaming snack shop at 4195 Broadway, near West 178th Street in Washington Heights and not far south of the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal. It’s a small place with counter seating and a communal table in the center, preparing some of the best Venezuelan fast foods in Manhattan. One dish I’d never seen before was maracucha. The name, as the counter dude told me, refers to female residents of Venezuela’s second largest city of Maracaibo, located in the remote northwest of the country and center of the oil industry." - Robert Sietsema
