Venezuelan restaurant · Rockaway Park

"Caracas Arepa’s original East Village location is a place we’ve probably had 15 random spontaneous dinners at over the years - it’s one of those spots you can always walk into for a cheap, highly enjoyable dinner without thinking too hard about it. The Williamsburg location is similar, with a few added bonuses. One, an awesome backyard patio. Two, a full bar - there’s actually a rum bar called Roneria that’s attached. Three, the ability to make reservations for a group of five to ten. This is a spontaneous dinner guide, but we don’t like to withhold useful information. You shouldn’t have a problem walking in with a small group." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
