Colleagues working in Midtown Manhattan ventured with us to a restaurant that boasted foods from the Dominican Republic- Mangu restaurant <\/a>(also known as the Dominican Kitchen) located\u00a0 at 158 East 45th<\/sup> Street in Manhattan, New York.\u00a0 We sampled the iconic Dominican dish of Sancocho<\/a> and their lunch special oxtail stew with rice and beans.\u00a0 We also tasted Mangu\u2019s steak with onions dish with white rice and red beans. The price was reasonable starting at $8.75 for the lunch special.<\/p>\n

The staff at Mangu were pleasant and we also interacted with other diners at the restaurant who are members of the Dominican diaspora in New York; they shared with us a bit about their home country of Dominican Republic evidencing pride in their ancestral cuisine and culture.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, it was a great lunch experience at Mangu\u2019s restaurant and on the GrubPassport.com cuisine scale, the grub was rated a solid SILVER<\/b>.<\/p>\n

If you have been to Mangu Restaurant, share your thoughts or if you have another restaurant that should be included in the GrubPassport.com Lunch Series email us at contact@grubpassport.com<\/a> or by Twitter @GrubPassport.<\/p>\n
