Dominican Independence Day is February 27.
In honor of the day, Information 12's Shakti Denis sat down with a Brooklyn girl who’s bringing a contemporary twist to Dominican staples.
Michellet Díaz grew up in Sundown Park. She says that regardless of the big Dominican group within the neighborhood, she had a tough time discovering road meals within the space.
So three years in the past, in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, he opened Antojitos BK on 45th Avenue and 4th Avenue.
They serve every kind of snacks, contemporary juices, and hearty meals that basically carry out the flavors one would discover on the streets of the Dominican Republic.
“I would like our meals to not solely be identified within the Dominican group,” Díaz stated. “So it's actually placing Dominican Republic road meals on the map.”
