Venezuela: Caracas Arepa Bar
“What’s an arepa?” you might wonder. It’s heaven, that’s what it is. Now, being more literal, an arepa is a fluffy pillow of a corn pancake that can be stuffed like a sandwich with many different fillings: pulled pork, chicken, sausage, beans, guacamole, queso fresco, and so on. This classic Venezuelan (or Colombian, as some might argue) treat can be enjoyed on any of the two Caracas Arepa Bar friendly locations, one in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn.
