Grub Street

If you’re a Mets fan who’s had your fill of Shake Shack (and a post-game trip to Strawberry’s ain’t going to cut it), take note of a new dining option near the stadium. This Wednesday, Ricardo Cardona of Sofrito (yes, the creator of the $1,000 paella) will soft-open Gabbana along with Yamil Martinez, owner of Washington Heights venues Mamajuana, MamaSushi, and Altus Café. Between this, Nuela, and Carniceria AD, can we call it the comeback of Nuevo Latino?

Cardona (who also helms the kitchens of Latin hot spots Hudson River Café and Sofrito) is practicing what he calls “Modern Dominican” cuisine here — we’re told he spent a considerable amount of time in the DR, mastering the art of the pastelón (he makes his with Kobe beef, naturally). The rest of the menu is below. The dining room will be open daily from 5 p.m. till midnight (with the bar going till 2 a.m.), and a lounge will stay open till 4 a.m. on weekends. There’ll be a nightly D.J. after midnight.
