3 Great Dominican Restaurants In The East Village
"Neither Rossy’s nor El Riconcito are offering outdoor dining at the moment, so if you’re looking for a place to sit down for a chimi burger and some extremely crispy mofongo with skirt steak and a light tomato broth, try KM1. This Caribbean restaurant on East 1st Street opened in August 2020, and in addition to things like chicharron and honey-glazed jerk wings, the menu has a bunch of meatless Dominican options like a vegan pastelon layered with mushrooms and coconut sauce, a shrimp mofongo, and a vegetarian chimi burger. They’re still waiting for their liquor license but, in the meantime, try one of their shaved ice frio frios (we like the tamarind one). Stop by KM1 for their covered outdoor dining, call 646-669-7547 for pick-up, or place your delivery order online." - hannah albertine
