When I was walking the upper streets of the Upper West Side to update my blog on the neighborhood, I came across Lyla’s Bodega. It was near the local school and the kids were coming in for their lunch special of the Empanadas and a drink. I was starved and love empanadas so J had to stop in to try some.

They were having a special of three empanadas for $6.00 and that sounded fair to me. I tried all three available the beef, chicken and cheese and they were all delicious.

My lunch that day

The restaurant makes its own hot and chili sauces in house and that gives them a little kick. They also have some unusual flavors of sodas. I got the tropical Seven Up that I had never seen before.

Their delicious Empanadas

The empanadas were perfectly cooked and filled to the brim with delicious fillings.

There is a small counter to eat at but after school the kids tend to take this spot. Try to come before school ends for the afternoon to get a space and eat indoors. There are lots of parks in the area to eat lunch.

Milanes Restaurant 168 West 25th Street New York, NY 10001 (Closed June 2022)

*Milanes Restaurant closed for business in June 2022. I stopped by to see if the hours had changed and there is a “For Rent” sign on the business. It is too bad because the food was excellent and very reasonably priced. The owners were also super nice.

Sometimes you just stumble across a restaurant when you are walking down a street that catches your attention. That is how I felt when I was staying in Manhattan for Spring Break from school and was staying at the Sheraton Four Points a few doors down from Milanes Restaurant.

I saw how reasonable the restaurant was and the nice selection of dishes for breakfast and lunch. This Spanish restaurant has a Dominican influence in its cooking from it owners and chefs.

I stopped in for breakfast after seeing the menu and had never had a Dominican Breakfast before. My selection though ended up being very American with me ordering two breakfasts. I had an order of French Toast which was two very thick slices of bread dipped…
