"La Caridad had been an Upper West Side staple of Cuban-Chinese cuisine since 1968, when it closed in 2020, only to move onto West 72nd Street and reopen last year. The Dominican fried chicken (called “cracklings”) is still a signature — small, bone-in pieces, crisp skinned and tasting slightly of their tart marinade. Get it with shrimp fried rice." - Robert Sietsema
