Habichuelas con Dulce

The Best Dominican Food In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"This small blue stand has been around for decades, and it's owned by family who’s here every day, all year round. Habichuelas con dulce—a comforting combination of beans, sugar, coconut milk, and evaporated milk—is a Dominican staple, and it’s particularly wonderful in winter. The warm cups they pour from big coolers are heavily spiced with things like cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. You can get a classic blue coffee cup full, or a pint, or even a quart. Lots of people get quarts. In fact, all those cars double-parked on 182nd are bringing quarts home to their families." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
