5 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in NYC - Eater NY

"For a neighborhood Caribbean joint: Just on the border of Prospect Heights and Crown Heights, the reboot of The Islands epitomizes Caribbean food in the area. When the restaurant opened in its new bigger space, the menu grew, too. All the jerk classics and oxtails are exceptional, but don’t sleep on the mac and cheese." - Eater Staff
