BEST LATIN
RESTAURANT
Empanada Loca
Great food is the universal love language—
especially when it’s Latin
influenced. As Brooklyn natives, the
owners of Empanada Loca wanted to
provide their own South Slope neighborhood
with a unique experience
of the worldwide comfort food—empanadas.
Hailing from Colombia,
head chef Rosa Suarez masterfully
recreates the generations-old recipes
passed down to her by her mother.
From those roots, Empanada Loca
has developed inspired recipes for
over 42 types of empanadas and
assembled an array of carefully
crafted sauces and other fusion
dishes. Although the flavors they
put into their plates are expansive,
the integrity of each meal remains
constant. Whether baked or fried,
food should be honest, and that’s
how they make it — using only top
notch ingredients and sourcing locally
and grass-fed meats whenever
possible. 606 5th Ave. (718) 369-2118

Luger is the undisputed champion
of beef. Under the management of
the Forman family, the restaurant

the top steakhouses in New York for
decades, earned itself a Michelin Star
and joined the ranks of American

waiters serving aged beef in
a German beer hall setting. All meat
is certified USDA prime and is aged
and prepared on site. Peter Luger’s
quality cuts have earned it a reputation
