La Casa Del Mofongo, New York

La Casa Del Mofongo - The versatility of La Casa Del Mofongo’s space helps make it a Washington Heights social hub. Just inside the white, mullioned windows is a long, active counter for takeout orders. On the right is a brick-walled bar, often packed with a youthful Dominican crowd. The décor has an understated tropical quality, with rattan seats, bamboo poles, and kitschy paintings of Dominican heroes. The scene is lively and runs 24 hours, usually to a soundtrack of pulsating salsa, merengue, and bachata beats.
