La Placita’s First Anniversary Party

Five-time James Beard nominee José Mendín’s bold homage to his native Puerto Rico celebrates its first anniversary with a fiesta straight out of San Juan. Partake in domino tournaments and an all-day happy hour appropriately boasting $2 Medalla beer and $3 Don Q cocktails. Plus, it wouldn’t be a proper Puerto Rican party without lechon—yes, they’re roasting a whole pig—and pleneros providing the Afro-Latino beats.
