The Migrant Kitchen has opened at 1433 First Avenue, between 74th and 75th Streets (though its “official opening” will be Sunday, November 7). The Middle Eastern and Latin restaurant – which is also planning to open a location on the Upper West Side soon – was founded in 2019 by Daniel Dorado and Nasser Jaber, who originally served their plates at private offices and parties before expanding to Time Out Market in Brooklyn. Menu items include salmon and roast chicken entrees; shawarma wraps and tortas; and starters including hummus with pita chips, potato wedges and empanadas. Dorado and Jaber have made giving back a priority since the beginning, serving a massive number of meals to frontline workers and those in need during the height of the pandemic. Today, they donate one meal to a New Yorker in need for every meal purchased. The Migrant Kitchen is open daily from 7am – 9pm. Learn more at www.themigrantkitchennyc.com.
