It can be hard to find a Lunch spot in Midtown that won't break the bank. Luckily for all Midtown employees, Acuario Cafe has served up delicious home-style Dominican food on the cheap for the past few decades out of the freight entrance of an otherwise nondescript office building. In this short video from our friends at Great Big Story learn all about Acuario Cafe, its owner Rodolfo Perez, and how to find it!
Psst… We’re about to tell you about one of New York City’s hidden gems. It’s the Acuario Cafe, and you’ll find it in the Garment District on 37th Street.
