Venezuela may be beset by political turmoil, but you won’t find any Hugo Chavez–worthy dissonance at this East Village eatery, which strikes a culinary truce with a smattering of arepas—grilled cornmeal cakes stuffed with a variety of fillings. Stuffings run the gamut from luscious (creamy white cheese, fried sweet plantains and avocado) to hearty (grilled chicken breast with caramelized onions and cheddar cheese), while prices—the average arepa costs about $6—are anything but dictatorial.
