Dominican food in NYC

241 Dominican restaurants in New York City, listed by borough.

Dominican food is the comfort food of upper Manhattan and the Bronx. Get mofongo, mashed fried plantain with garlic and pork cracklings, or mangú con los tres golpes, plantain mash with fried salami, cheese and eggs, for breakfast. Sancocho, a seven-meat stew, is the weekend dish, and chicharrón and pica pollo, Dominican fried chicken, are the late-night ones. Wash it down with a morir soñando, orange juice and milk.

This is our biggest page. The Bronx has the most spots, Washington Heights and Inwood the densest, where our Little Dominican Republic adventure covers La Casa del Mofongo, Malecón and Floridita. Ajo y Oregano in the Bronx made the NYT 100.
