Food Scene
I recommend going to the "To Go" location rather than the larger, more formal restaurant a few doors down. La Pelua and Los Muchachos are my favorite arepas here, although I have can vouch for all.

Get the elote here (grilled corn with cheese and a little bit of hot pepper). You will not regret it. I come here at least once a week, it's been a habit for years and I don't want to stop.

Famous for their ramen and pork belly sandwiches, but everything on their menu is beyond flavorful thanks to Chef David Chang. The Momofuku empire of restaurants began in the East Village.
