"Freda’s Caribbean and Soul Cuisine on the Upper West Side feels like being invited into a West Indian and Southern family’s home for dinner. The menu is a greatest hits of soul and Caribbean food and includes Jamaican brown stew chicken, fried whiting, curry chicken, macaroni and cheese, and peas and rice. It’s all affordable, too, with the generous portion costings under $20. Bonus: BYOB" - Korsha Wilson, Brianne Garrett, Ryan Sutton
