To Jessica and Briant Almonte of Empanada City in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, the flaky half-moon pastries made-to-order tell the story of their respective Puerto Rican and Dominican heritage, as well as their distinctly New York childhoods. Their story has been so successful, in fact, that they will be opening a new, larger location on Starr Street in June. This one with booze.
