Last week, during the adventure with Mustapha K. to Floridita in Harlem, I was lucky enough to have radio producer Katie Macpherson along for the ride.

After we got to Floridita and dove into our feast, I broke down Mustapha’s recommended dishes and got to chat with Yoisha S., who told us about her love for Floridita’s food while Celia Cruz belted out some salsa in the background:
