"Take those three dollars you have crumpled up at the bottom of your bag, hop off the A train at Nostrand Avenue, and make a beeline for A&A Bake and Doubles. The Bed-Stuy institution cranks out fry bakes and goat roti, but we come here most for the $2.50 doubles. The fluffy bara is filled with thick, well-seasoned chana, with sides of sweet-and-sour tamarind sauce and spicy pepper sauce. One’s a snack, two are a meal, and three a guaranteed great afternoon." - Willa Moore
