"Miss Conduck is now officially the best spot to kick-off a night on Edgewood Avenue’s strip when you want more than a beer and some pretzels. The stylish Caribbean fusion spot, which opened in the former Noni's space, trades in Edgewood’s chaotic buzz for chill island energy. It’s decked out in pinks, greens, and oranges, and filled with tropical plants, all of which should ease the pain of not taking a beach getaway this summer. Before you go searching for a party on a Friday night, come here with friends for some very strong cocoritas—a play on a piña colada and a margarita. Or sit on the patio with a date who likes the sound of tasty chicken rasta pasta with an herby tamarind glaze and curry chicken with rice and cabbage." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
