When I think dinner in the Heights, I think neighborhood hang, right? A place with amazing food and drinks. Helen in the Heights, sister to Helen Greek Food in Rice Village, is all that and a bag of zucchini chips. All the plates are meant to be sharable and pairable with drinks or wine.

If someone is asking about that new German beer place in the Heights, they could be talking about one of two places.
