RESTAURANT REVIEW | IT'S A DOMINICAN THING
TOP PICK | $25 AND UNDER
DOMINICAN PRIDE, RIGHT ON THE TABLES
By Dana Bowen, NEW YORK TIMES

ENTER It's a Dominican Thing, and you'll land yourself a spot at a table with that country's famed baseball players, political activists, artists and pop singers.

Well, not really. The celebrity images, snipped from magazines and torn from books, are collaged under glass atop the handful of tables filling the cozy dining room.

The decorations were a conversation starter; you're eating over somebody's inspired art project. On our first visit, as we lounged on pillow-strewn wicker chairs, the manager pushed aside my wine goblet and pointed to a picture of Julia Alvarez, the author of "How the García Girls Lost Their Accents."
