Concon-solation prize: Stewed eggplant, a Tuesday-Thursday special, was already 86'ed when my dining buddy and I nosed into this Dominican deli. A plate of pernil ($6), with the crunchy, bottom-of-the-pot rice called concon (cone-Cone) and ladles of beany gravy, was more than enough encouragement for a return visit.
