"A pee-wee football huddle would have a hard time squeezing between the green walls of this Jamaican/Haitian restaurant. But Yardie Spice is big when it comes to flavor and hospitality. The marriage of these two cuisines is the result of a literal marriage between a Jamaican mom and Haitian dad—making this a true mom-and-pop spot where the family will give you the full backstory behind Leon’s legume stew (a must-order) before sending you off with a slice of coconut rum cake. Their conch fritters are fantastic, but you should also get their huge, saucy jerk chicken wings." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
