Walking the High Line in the glorious weather, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
miss_chance and I found ourselves looking for an early al fresco dinner and found this amazing Cuban/Asian fusion restaurant half a block from its midpoint.
We had the most delightful wontons, with mushrooms (fried) and with shrimp (steamed). Then we had the excellent chicken empanadas. Then we had oysters, and then because they were out of the duck and despite the large number of other things we wanted to try we had more of the shrimp wontons because they were just that good.
The Calle Dao Mojito with shiso leaf and lemongrass syrup was incredible.
Calle Dao
461 W 23rd St (just east of 10th Ave)
New York, NY 10011
+1.212.414.4104
Hours listed on the web site as:
M-Tu 1600-2200
W-Th 1200-2200
F 1200-2300
Sa 1100-2300
Su 1100-2100
but in practice the kitchen shuts down for most of an hour around 3:30 or 4 to switch over from the lunch menu to the dinner menu, and this does not seem like the kind of place that treats time with the kind of precision the above listings imply.
