Empanada Mama UES

The 24 Best Restaurants In Hell’s Kitchen - New York - The Infatuation

"There aren’t many places in NYC where tourists and hungover New Yorkers come face to face. But that’s exactly what happens in this 24-hour empanada spot. Empanada Mama is essentially a neighborhood diner that caters to the masses. Like most diners, you won’t find any food here that will make you want to Airdrop photos of soup to strangers on the train. But every neighborhood needs a solid option that never closes. If you can’t decide what to order, go for the simple corn empanada filled with beef." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, ciera velarde
