There are too many other contenders, including the much rumored one from La Rosita on the Upper West Side, which I didn’t get a chance to try. This is from my old “standby”, Havana Central, 22 East 17th Street, off Union Square. Good empanadas - including some interesting ones like the filling of a cuban sandwich inside a deep-fried version, a spicy beef picadillo, and a delicious chicken sofrito. The sandwich itself is different in many ways from the one at Green Kitchen. Havana Central’s has less roast pork and more ham, more pickles, and more cheese. It’s served on a classic pressed and buttered bread. It’s served with a bottle of habanero pepper hot sauce. Pluses and minuses, a tough call, leave it up to the neighborhood you find yourself in.
