Fusing Chinese and Cuban cuisines, Calle Dao proves that New York City’s reputation as the melting pot of America is well earned. This popular Chelsea brunch restaurant was designed to pay homage to Havana’s once-prosperous Chinatown where the unique fusion of cuisines originated.
Start with one of the hot appetizers (I recommend the Cuban sandwich spring rolls and Ma-Po Maduros) before diving into the mains. My go-to order is the Cuban eggs Benedict, but my husband swears by the chorizo and garbanzo hash.
These days, the restaurant’s bottomless brunch offering seems to be the biggest draw. Offering one hour of unlimited drinks for $30 per person, choose from mojitos, margaritas, Cuba libres, sangrias, champagne, wine and beer.

The menu changes, but the quality never does.
