In addition to coffee and tea, the hand-drawn menu board at The Monkey Cup also depicts a weekend-only roster of Venezuelan arepas. I'm told that the shredded-chicken "reyna pepiada" is the most popular, but on the day of my visit it was the prosciutto-heavy "el younas" that had sold out. Shown: the modest, black and white bean and cheese of "la domino."
