"Since 1999, Nicole’s Caribbean has been a prominent feature of the neighborhood just west of the Historic Downtown, its bright yellow awning shining like a beacon. The kitchen makes up about three-quarters of the interior, and there’s not much seating. From that kitchen fly Guyanese specialties that include a wonderful roti. The flatbread is a dhal puri, and the primary filling is a choice of goat, chicken, shrimp, etc. But also consider asking for a secondary filling like pumpkin or callaloo to balance your meal. And don’t forget to use the scotch bonnet hot sauce." - Robert Sietsema
