La Caridad 78 is one of New York City’s last Cuban Chinese restaurants. The Lee Family founded the restaurant 52 years ago in Manhattan’s Upper West Side when they arrived from Cuba. The restaurant offers Chinese plates like fried rice and General Tso’s Chicken but customers go for their Cuban dishes like ropa vieja, picadillo, yellow rice, and beans.
