| Eating in New York
by Antoinette
This section is dedicated to you. All those
who walk off dem boot heel, wit dem belly inna dem han! If you
love a home cooked meal, you will never go hungry in New York.
I really mean this. If you need products, seasonings, fruits or
vegetables such as, bammy, breadfruit, ginnep, hairy coconut,
sorrel, etc., most of the Korean markets in Flatbush, East Flatbush
or Crown Heights carry these products.
If you want hot food, the list is endless. In
Flatbush and East Flatbush there are Jamaican restaurants on every
other corner. Flatbush, Church and Nostrand Avenues are abundant
with restaurants for Jamaicans. Many of these restaurants are
take out places but if the food is good, that's all that matters
right? In Queens, in all the areas mentioned above, there are
a plethora of restaurants. In Bronx, all along White Plains Road
and off this main thoroughfare. In Manhattan, there are known
restaurants such as:
- Negril - 362 W. 23rd St. (212) 807-6411
- Island Spice - 402 W. 44th St. (212) 765-
1737
- Pepper's Restaurant & Bar* - 349 Broadway
(212) 343 -2824 (features entertainment on certain nights)
Not to mention the Golden Krust Bakery franchises
that are popping up all over. There are currently seven stores
in Manhattan. In Brooklyn, there are nine locations, four of them
along Flatbush Avenue. In the Bronx, which was home to the first
store, there are at least eight stores. In Queens, there are four
locations. This chain features the famous beef patties, along
with good hot food and even soup. Just ask Tiki Barber!
