The Migrant Kitchen - Central Park 8.0
Upper East Side-Lenox Hill-Roosevelt Island
Vibes: Family Friendly Favorites Outdoor Dining Oasis Quick Bites Champions Hidden Gems Heaven
The Migrant Kitchen’s Central Park outpost is a fast-casual stand where shawarma bowls and sandwiches share space with surprisingly serious donuts. Guests heading in and out of the park use it for grab-and-go food plus mini donuts and seasonal donuts that travel well to a bench or blanket.
Must-Try Dishes: Plain Seasonal Donut, Jelly Mini Donuts, Chocolate Hazelnut Mini Donuts
