Critics' Pick in New York Magazine, Empanada Mama's, with a "menu of more than forty empanadas, stuffed and sealed wheat- or corn-based shells, is designed to hit a nostalgic nerve. Whatever flavors you like, you can expect them here, wrapped in a warm, yielding pocket: Greek (spinach pie), Cuban (ham, pork, and cheese), Polish (kielbasa and sauerkraut), Hawaiian (ham, cheese, and pineapple), Italian (sausage, peppers, and onions), American (cheeseburger)". For all things deliciously empanada, come and eat at Empanada Mama's at 9th Avenue between 51st & 52nd Street.
