Rice with squid — arroz con calamares en su tinta, "in its own ink," which colors the rice — is a Friday special at this Dominican lunch counter. Hole in the Wall sits just above a subway entrance at 116 and Lex; indeed, last I looked, the principal signage still reads "Lexington Restaurant, Comida Criolla." Also shown below, immediately across the avenue: an old mass-transit-themed ad, "All cars transfer to Bloomingdale's."
