"If you find yourself in Inwood feeling passionate about pork, head to Patok by Rach, a casual Filipino spot near the 215th Street station. They know their way around the pig here: The lechon kawali is equal parts thick, crunchy skin and thick, melty fat, and, according to the person at the next table, "exactly how my aunt makes it." Come on a weeknight, order one more pork-forward dish from the short menu of Filipino classics than you think you'll need, and then spoon vinegared onions and cucumbers onto each cube of pork belly until you’re way past full." - willa moore, nikko duren, matt tervooren, the curious uptowner
