New Cafe and breakfast joint. perfect stop before venturing on to the 3 train or over towards Nostrand Ave. Offering coffee, baked goods and their breakfast sandwich is outstanding. Their oat chai latte was delicious!

Chavela's
736 Franklin AveNow called Ursula's - they always have a line for their "New Mexican" fare - and it's well worth the wait. Get there before their noon cutoff for burritos. Also check their instagram, as they tend to host pop-up lunches on Mondays and Tuesdays

You haven't lived until you try a papellon arepa - perfection with sweet and salty flavors. Start with tequenos (not unlike a mozzarella stick)
