"Originally founded by Cuban Chinese immigrant Rafael Lee in 1968, and long operated by his family, La Caridad became an Upper West Side icon at 79th and Broadway. It was tragic when it closed, but popped up again last December on the bustling West 72nd restaurant strip, serving the same cheesy pressed sandwiches, roasted and fricasseed chickens. pot roast, and pernil, in an engagingly retro setting." - Eater Staff
