"If you want a glimpse of the old Times Square — gritty, commercial, and night clubby — walk into Margon and order a plate of chicken fricassee or roast pork, accompanied by white rice and black beans and a wad of sweet fried plantain. Founded in 1970, this amazing Cuban lunch counter has soldiered onward though thick and thin, and now boasts a handful of tables in the street in a curbside enclosure. For those who appreciate its sturdy, garlicky fare, Margon is simply one of the best restaurants in town." - Robert Sietsema
