El Papasito Has Crispy Pork Skin Worth Traveling Out of Bounds For
I know that most of you already know this, but sometimes it bears repeating for the new folks. There are official ML boundaries that I do my best to stick to. 3rd Ave. on the East, 8th Ave. on the West. 32nd Street to the South, and Central Park South to the North. I know a lot of you work outside those boundaries, but if I expand to 30th Street, then what about 28th? And then from there, it’s only another 2 blocks to 26th. In other words, you’ve got to have limits.
Occasionally, though, something amazing will come to my attention that excites me enough to cross those imaginary Midtown Lunch lines. And those places we refer to as being “Out of Bounds”. There are plenty of cheap Dominican/Cuban/Latin food options in Midtown, but none of them have what Papasito has (on 53rd btw. 8+9th). A $6 lunch special.
For me, paying only $6 for a heaping plate of Dominican food makes it worth the extra bit of walking. (Especially with Margon and Sophie’s Cuban costing $8+) But if the price isn’t enough for you, I discovered an extra little bit of incentive.
