Arepa Sureña

There is a restaurant, located in the East Village of New York City, called Caracas Arepa Bar. It's on 7th Street at 1st Avenue, and they serve Venezuelan arepas.

IMG_0039 So for lunch today I had arepas @ Caracas.  The picture displays "la sureña" (the southern arepa), with parchita juice (passion fruit).  La sureña consists of the corn-based arepa, filled with chicken, beef, and chorizo, and slices of avocado; I added some salsa picante.  This is one of my favorite places to eat, even if they are loisaida-small.

Around the corner from Caracas is Ruben's Empanadas, another favorite of mine.
