La Dinastia, NYC
Tumblr media
My favorite fried chicken in New York City!
La Dinastia on West 72nd St. is a classic Chinese-Dominican restaurant that my friend Victor introduced me to 25 years ago and we have no stopped eating at since. Obviously it was easier when we lived ten blocks away on 82nd St., but we’re still happy to make the trip from wherever we live. Even after we moved to Shanghai, we visited La Dinastia every time we flew back.
Last Friday we hit The Dead Poet for a few cocktails first, then shot down to the Return Brewing Tap Takeover at The Hoptimist before heading to La Dinastia for my friend John’s birthday dinner. As a creature of habit, my family always orders the exact same thing here, but this time, John had the honor of choosing our dinner... as long as their Boneless Crispy Crackling Chicken hit the table, as seen above. Here’s a look at what else we went with...
Old school pork egg rolls, which are getting harder and harder to find in the city...
Tumblr media
Fried pork dumplings, which were a first for me...
Tumblr media
General Tso’s Crispy Beef...
Tumblr media
Arroz con Pollo Dominican Style...
Tumblr media
There was also an order of their Chickpeas in Moro sauce, which is another dish I always get, and highly recommend you do too.
Everything was outstanding as always! Consistency is king here.
And, for another first, I ordered a cocktail instead of beer, a Nutcracker, with rum, amaretto, SoCo, pineapple juice and grenadine...

Several of New York’s long-time Latin-Chinese restaurants did not survive the pandemic, with even La Caridad 78 closing, but La Dinastia was packed with people, still going strong with all the same staff, and now their kids, who have been serving here for the three decades I’ve been going.
In the end, it’s the food that people keep coming back for, and on that front, La Dinastia is still at the top of their game!

From Beats to Eats: Exploring Hip-Hop's Flavorful History with Food
Tumblr media
Introduction:
Hip-hop culture has always been a creative force that transcends music. It has influenced fashion, language, and even culinary trends. Food has played an integral role in the history of hip-hop, serving as a source of inspiration, cultural expression, and a symbol of identity. In this blog post, we will take a flavorful journey through hip-hop's history with food, exploring how it is referenced in their songs, and the significance it holds within the genre.
1. Roots of Hip-Hop's Culinary Influence:
Hip-hop emerged from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s, where the cultural fusion of African, Caribbean, and Latin American influences was evident. These diverse culinary traditions became woven into the fabric of hip-hop, shaping its identity and creative expression. As artists embraced their cultural heritage, food became a powerful metaphorical tool, symbolizing community, struggle, and success.
2. Mouthwatering Lyrics:
Food-related references in hip-hop lyrics are abundant and span across various sub-genres. From iconic rappers like The Notorious B.I.G. rapping about "Juicy" burgers to Lil Wayne's clever wordplay with "Beetlejuice" and "sushi," food serves as a vibrant metaphor to convey messages of wealth, status, and indulgence. Exploring the colorful and inventive use of food in hip-hop lyrics provides a unique lens into the genre's creativity and wordplay.
3. Food as Cultural Expression:
Food in hip-hop is more than just clever wordplay; it reflects cultural identity and pays homage to ancestral roots. Artists often use traditional dishes and flavors to connect with their heritage, celebrating their origins and promoting cultural diversity. Whether it's Puerto Rican mofongo, Jamaican jerk chicken, or Southern soul food, hip-hop artists embrace their cultural cuisines as a way to connect with their audience and express their unique backgrounds.
4. The Rise of Food Entrepreneurship:
Hip-hop's influence extends beyond lyrics and beats; it has also made its mark in the culinary world. Many artists have ventured into the food industry, opening restaurants, launching food product lines, or becoming ambassadors for food-related initiatives. This entrepreneurial spirit not only showcases their passion for food but also contributes to community development and economic empowerment.
5. Food as a Reflection of Social Issues:
Hip-hop has always been a voice for social change and a platform for addressing societal issues. Similarly, food references in hip-hop often shed light on food inequality, poverty, and the struggles faced by marginalized communities. Through their lyrics, artists bring awareness to the challenges of food deserts, unhealthy eating habits, and the need for food justice, inspiring dialogue and action.
Conclusion:
Food has been an integral part of hip-hop's history, providing a rich tapestry of cultural references, metaphors, and social commentary. It serves as a powerful tool for artists to express their identity, celebrate their heritage, and shed light on pressing social issues. As hip-hop continues to evolve, the relationship between food and the genre will undoubtedly remain vibrant and influential, reflecting the ever-changing landscape of both music and culinary arts.
Remember, this blog post only scratches the surface of hip-hop's history with food. Dive deeper, explore iconic lyrics, and discover the mouthwatering world where beats meet eats.

These delicious Cuban black beans are a delicious side dish to be served with rice, fried pantains and some avocado. You can also add them to some burritos, burrito bowls or to some grilled meat.
