"With plastic roses everywhere and a wood-shingled ordering counter, this Washington Heights spot looks like a tiny Barbie cottage—if Barbie were the cute cartoon pig looking out of the fake window on the wall. This whimsically pink spot makes some great food, like a $35 fried feast in the form of their Krunchy Picada tray with chicharron, oregano-infused longaniza, mofongo laden with pork and garlic, and creamy yuca mash. Order ahead for pick-up if you’re short on time. There are a few tables inside, where you can sit and watch music videos, but if it’s a nice day, take your picnic-friendly meal to a chess table near the top of Hightower Park.
