The Last Cuban-Chinese Restaurant in NYC

La Caridad 78 is a restaurant on the corner of 78th Street and Broadway in New York City s Upper West Side. The name is Spanish, yet the restaurant itself resembles a classic NY Chinese eatery. What s the deal? Well, thousands of Chinese workers came to Cuba in the 19th and 20th centuries, but fled Havana s thriving Chinatown when Castro came to power. Some of those folks came to New York. Some of *those* folks started restaurants, and, well, La Caridad 78 has been serving up some of the best Chinese AND Cuban dishes in the city since 1968. It s a story of perseverance, cultures coming together, and really, really good eats.
