  • Psst… We’re about to tell you about one of New York City’s hidden gems. It’s the Acuario Cafe, and you’ll find it in the Garment District on 37th Street. There’s no sign outside-you have to walk through a nondescript freight entrance to visit this tiny Latin American restaurant. Rodolpho Perez runs the neighborhood joint, and he takes care of his customers like family. For just $5, you can get a hearty plate of pollo guisado and other delicious Dominican dishes. Let’s lunch!

      People who immigrate to a place at the age of 12* or older tend to keep their accent. Those who move when they're younger than 12* lose their native accent and develop a mix of the accent (altho predominantly of the adopted accent). *edited, see below for citation

      I think it's a little different when you are invested in the outcome of the business. He loves his customers bc they visually represent his own personal success. It's a great way to do things. Selling a product you don't believe in or care about for someone elses profit is what usually leads to animosity towards the customer base.

This guys hole in the way cafe in a freight entrance has zero people walk by each day, its hidden. It costs much less than that hot dog stand on the corner. People find out by word of mouth. It starts with the laborers and building employees that find out about the cafe in the freight entrance. All the delivery guys who use the freight. Next thing you know the word gets out. Genius idea.
