Jaywok › New York City
28 Venezuelan restaurants in New York City, listed by borough.
Arepas are the center of Venezuelan food: split corn cakes stuffed with fillings like reina pepiada (chicken and avocado salad) or pabellón (shredded beef, black beans, plantain and cheese). Cachapas are sweet corn pancakes folded over soft cheese. Order tequeños, fried cheese sticks, to start, and pabellón criollo as a full plate.
The city's Venezuelan restaurants are spread out rather than clustered: Astoria, Jackson Heights and Woodhaven in Queens, Bushwick and Williamsburg in Brooklyn, and around Dyckman Street in Inwood. Arepas Café in Astoria was on Tastebuds. The community has grown fast since 2022, so new carts and counters keep opening.
