The foods of Cuba and China come together at Calle Dao in Chelsea.  The restaurant adorned with wrought iron fences and lots of palm trees is known for its festive cocktails and cuisine. Look for dishes like Cuban Sandwich Spring Rolls and Pan Fried Dumplings with short rib and lemongrass. Larger plates include Char Sui Pork, 5-Spice Skirt Steak and Peking-style chicken over yellow rice with chorizo.
