Purity Food (Jamaican)



Purity Food - 3812 White Plains Road - Jamaican
Tamarind balls and nice service.

Health Conscious Express


Health Conscious Express - 45 First Avenue (between 2nd and 3rd Street) (Jamaican)
A small little Jamaican joint - marketing mostly vegetarian munchies such as patties, lotsa juices and a few raw desserts. Slightly on the expensive side (though normal for Manhattan)...but the place is small, friendly, and convenient. All good things, if you're in the area!

Daphnes


Daphne's - 233 E. 14th Street (Jamaican)
A very, very small place - and even though their menu is pretty impressive, they don't seem to have everything available. Daphne's usually looks only partially stocked. I will say this - their rum cake is quite good!

Vegan's Delight


Vegan's Delight - 3565 Boston Road - Jamaican/Vegan
A small little Jamaican joint--possibly Ital--located on the far end of Boston Road. Though not large, the store offers some good veggie staples - including mock meat, vegannaise and nicely priced bulk items like beans, grains and dried fruit. (They also have containers from the "Just Veggie" company, priced at a reasonable $3.99 per container.) A counter in the back offers a limited selection of decent tasting entrees - ranging from patties to steamed veggies and various mock meat dishes... (Prices run a little steep, with small one dish entrees costing $5.75.) But the service is pleasant...and it's nice to have something in the neighborhood. (Why should Brooklyn have all the veggie fun?)

Rock A Tone Seafood


Rock-A-Tone Seafood - 3740 White Plains Road - Jamaican
The only place I've seen bammies...nice.

Country Boyz Jerk Yard


Country Boyz Jerk Yard - 1182 E. Gun Hill Road - Jamaican

Got da ackee here....

Ali's Roti Shop

Ali's Roti Shop - 422 White Plains Road (Corner of 234th Street) - Jamaican/Trinidadian
Another great place in the Bronx (I like this trend, very much!) A friend of mine turned me onto this place. Open 7 days a week, decent prices, huge portions, and lots of Roti, Doubles and more. It's a small place, with lots of stuff inside. So if you're interested in getting a taste of the Carribean, go here - it's a quicker trip than Brooklyn (at least for me!)
