The best way to dine at @labocasteaks is family-style, sharing everything.

Everyone wants the provoletta, a skillet of molten, seasoned provolone, but splitting this filling first course is a must, and that opens room for more starters, namely the empanadas to dab with chimichurri.

The Argentine steak cuts are different from American standards, and La Boca will make a platter of several so everyone can alternate between slices with their different textures and expressions of beefiness (that’s bife La Boca pictured with the avocado).

In August, La Boca makes a package deal from all this, with sides and dessert, for $55 per person.

The reason? Coolinary, the citywide summer dining program.

Link in my bio has a story with more ideas to do it up with Coolinary this month.

Here are a few banging Argentine wines from the list (I always turn to the staff here for picks), and - if you’re just up for a happy hour - the ñoqui fries from the HH menu, the house ñoqui sauce over fries , like carbonara disco fries.
