Ropa Vieja in New York City

The latest on the Latino food beat is that Ropa vieja, a Cuban dish that translated into English means “old clothes,”  is served in many restaurants throughout New York City.   My husband’s mother used to cook it and I do not know how to make it, since I am Puerto Rican.  But there are small, mom and pop restaurants in New York City that serve it, and this site published a recipe one can use to make this dish of shredded flank steak and other delicious ingredients.
