"I consider Caracas to offer some of the best arepas in New York—previously only found at a seasonal stand at Rockaway Beach—making their Venezuelan street food a special treat; classics include the De Pabellón stuffed with shredded beef, black beans, cotija and fried sweet plantains, and the vegetarian La Del Gato with guayanés cheese, fried sweet plantains and avocado, and I’d order extra sides of the house salad, a citrusy bright yellow sauce you’ll want to slather on everything." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
