Zona De Cuba

"If you’re looking for a rooftop with a live salsa band, plenty of socially distant tables, and more life-size props than a Disney ride, head to Zona De Cuba in The Bronx. This huge Caribbean restaurant has a colorful dance floor, gaudy chandeliers you’d find at an estate sale, and a booth made from the back of an old-school Chevy. They take reservations for dinner, and you can book a table on their website." - bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang, molly fitzpatrick
