Jalao NYC

Restaurant · Washington Heights

@newyorker

"The restaurant, in the new Radio Hotel, in Washington Heights, is an outpost of a popular place of the same name in Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic. The slightly steamy clime was a good excuse to order from a menu of refreshing cocktails. [...] The décor—including striking cane-back benches with plush cushions—and the plating evoke a high-end resort, but the food is homey nonetheless, with Dominican classics such as sancocho, a hearty stew made here with chicken, beef, pork, corn on the cob, and root vegetables, and mofongo, pounded cassava molded with pork and shrimp into an elegant dome. [...] At the original Jalao, in Santo Domingo, there is an enormous stage, and live music is a major draw." - Hannah Goldfield
