NYC's Best: Pick Whatever You Like at Caracas Arepa Bar in East Village and Williamsburg – This Venezuelan Food Joint Has Taken NYC by Storm

When they opened in 2003, their tiny East Village spot was instantly recognized for the authentic, Venezuelan arepas. Not only were South American expats queueing up, so were curious and hungry New Yorkers. Then in 2008, Caracas expanded with a second location in hip Williamsburg, still offering the laidback, South American vibes, but adding more space, a patio and a cocktail bar. Today, Caracas Arepa Bar is an institution in NYC and a must try for everyone.
