Afternoon Bite With 13th Street’s Empanada Lady

If you walk along 5th Avenue and 13th Street on any given day, you’ll more than likely see her. The Empanada Lady. Selling beef, chicken or cheese empanadas on that same corner for over ten years, she has built up a faithful customer base that spans well beyond the Slope borders.

One bite, and you’ll see why. Empanadas are $1.50 each, and so much better than that bag of chips you were thinking about snagging from the bodega.
