"We once waited nearly six hours in the blazing sun for lechón from this Mott Haven trailer. Though people come from all over the Tri-state area for Angel Jimenez’s outstanding roast pork, the line never seems too long. But Jimenez likes to hold people hostage at the point of his machete for endless minutes before bestowing clamshells of delicious food upon them. At times he disappears to reload on pig. Still, it's a top way to spend a summer weekend afternoon in NYC—just take folding chairs and stock up on frosty beverages from a nearby bodega, like everyone else at this impromptu block party." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
