"Come to this iconic Puerto Rican restaurant in Alphabet City for crispy-skinned rotisserie chicken, beans and rice, garlicky mofongo, and a couple of alcapurrias. Open since 1976, this family-run place feels as homey as ever, and let’s you bring your first six-pack of beer free. The corkage fee for additional six-packs is $5 each, and $6 for a bottle of wine. Don't forget to bring cash." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
