NYT on La Rosita's closing
The New York Times has written another article about our beloved Cuban restaurant, La Rosita, closing this week.
From On Upper Broadway, a Caribbean Sunset:
Over the years, La Rosita's following has come to extend beyond Latinos. As the neighborhood has changed, legions of Columbia students and others in search of a good meal at a decent price have discovered the rice, beans and sheer soul of the unassuming place, which has tattered menus and a decor that features wood paneling and mirrored walls.
The Clarks [as loyal customers] had gone so far as to pull their 6-year-old son, Ben, out of school that day to make one last pilgrimage to La Rosita for Ben's favorite mango milkshake, and to say goodbye to Carmen Cruz, the waitress Ben calls abuelita - grandma.
All good things come to an end, but it's still sad. This restaurant brought the community together like no other I've seen.
