"Gena’s Grill is a small and somewhat anonymous place on First Avenue in the East Village, existing since at least the 1980s. Previously known as the National, it was run by a family of women serving excellent Cuban dishes. The name has changed, but the dining experience remains largely the same, offering a menu rich with Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican fare. Signature dishes include pernil, Cuban sandwich, chicken cracklings, and sancocho." - Robert Sietsema
