The Best Empanadas In NYC
"The smell of buttery pastry fills your nose the second Claudy’s empanadas land on your table, or when you open a box of them in nearby Van Cortlandt Park. Almost tart-like in its flakiness, the shell at this Riverdale Peruvian spot stands out—and lives up to the aroma, tasting most deeply of hot butter. Their aji gallina filling is a treat: juicy chicken, swimming in a garlicky, slightly sweet, lightly spiced yellow pepper sauce. Pair it with a purple chicha morada that will stain your teeth and and brighten your day." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, monica prestia
