If you haven’t been there already and you live in the neighborhood, you have to try Carroll Station. A bar and restaurant, they serve Jamaican and American food, and their drink prices are reasonable. The last time I was there, I had the brown stew fish (whole red snapper, and they have other fish to choose from), the rice & peas, fried plantains, and more than a couple of beers — my tab was no more than $30. The food was authentic (thank GOD for authentic Jamaican food in the neighborhood!!) and the fish was perfectly cooked. The meal came with a salad — I highly recommend the house dressing. Very spicy, and addicting.
It’s a great place to meet your neighbors and have a nice meal/drink at the same time!
