"Labay is my favorite neighborhood market. Not only is it Black-owned, but it also has mainly Caribbean imports—many from the owner Big Mac’s family’s 60-acre estate in Grenada—such as breadfruit, sea moss, soursop, callaloo, jackfruit or tamarind pickle, ground provisions (green bananas, plantain, sweet, cassava), sorrel, Grenadian chocolates, and island spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, chandon beni, pimento peppers, and utensils ranging from wooden lélé (swizzle) sticks to dutch pots. Mac’s sister Margaret also cooks up traditional foods such as breadfruit, fish, and oil down on most weekends." - Shelley Worrell 31
