"This NYC staple has an outpost at the beach, located on the boardwalk at Beach 106th Street. It’s a great place for a quick arepa, they have A+ frozen drinks, and you’ll probably make some friends in the busy picnic area. Two or three of their palm-sized arepas can make a meal, especially if you get one that’s super stuffed. We like the arepa de pabellón, chock full of beef, beans, cheese, and fried plantains." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja
