You guys... I almost got super emotional upon ordering this jugo de chinola in the Upper East Side. First, I was surprised to find Latin Bites, a cute little diner/restaurant that has all the Latino/Hispanic goods. (I ordered a 3 golpes to go.) Then, while waiting for the food, I heard one of the cooks singing to baladas at the top of her lungs. It reminded me of the summers in San Francisco de Macoris where some of my cousins and I would sing and dance to shows and concerts in front of the TV. The nostalgia and the reality that I’m no longer on vacation in the Motherland and the fact that I didn’t go to El Cibao this time around got me emotional. I had to hold back the tears as I handed the clerk my $20 and as I draft this post from the Q train. Here’s to a blessed throwback Thursday 🙏🏽🇩🇴 . . . . . . . . #personalstyle #latinbites #instagood #nyceats #chinola #newyorkcity #latinfood #latinofood #dominicanbloggers #dominicana #baladas #elcibao #concretejungle #nycnative #wiwt #ootd #merengue #nostalgia #throwbackthursday #passionfruit #chinola #jugodechinola (at Latin Bites)
