"Happy coincidences abound in NYC. Maybe you found a loaded subway card or ran into that now-single ex-coworker. But if life has been feeling a little less serendipitous lately, head to Cocina Consuelo. The Hamilton Heights restaurant grew out of a Dominican and Mexican couple’s pandemic supper club, and it feels DIY in the best of ways. (You might even leave with a recommendation for a great local daycare or hear a performance from a jazz saxophonist who used to jam with Duke Ellington.) But the difference between Cocina Consuelo and a regular old apartment party is that the food and drinks—pineapple espresso and fluffy masa pancakes for brunch, birria-topped bone marrow and Mexican wine at dinner—are far more serious." - sonal shah, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, will hartman, willa moore, bryan kim, will hartman, bryan kim, sonal shah, willa moore, sonal shah, will hartman, neha talreja, ne
