Hispanic Heritage Month is in full swing.
And Washington Heights, a staple uptown neighborhood, is home to one of the largest Dominican communities in the US.
Radio Hotel, the neighborhood’s first boutique hotel, is offering a special package through October 15th.
Guests will receive a $50 dining credit to savor authentic Dominican flavors at the outdoor courtyard, El Patio, or on-site restaurant, Jalao.
To support the local community, authentic Dominican neighborhood highlights include:
Local Favorite– Malecon, featuring a robust menu of traditional staples.
For Something Sweet– El Manantial Bakery, known for its guava-and-cheese pastries and sweet Dominican treat.
