"Don’t judge, but I only discovered De Hot Pot after local artist Laura Thorne’s illustration of the Little Caribbean storefront became a best-seller at our mobile gallery and shop the caribBEING House, an upcycled shipping container used as a mobile art + cultural + market space that hosts exhibitions and pop-up shops featuring Caribbean/LatinX artisans from NYC and back home. Naturally, I passed this neighborhood favorite by foot and dollar van for many years, but only recently tasted their doubles and swooned (thank you Marlon Jude, my local performance coach who hosts weekly walk/runs in Prospect Park). As a daughter of Trinis who loves plenty peppa, I can’t recommend this place enough. I heard their roti is also out of this world, but have yet to try. As they say in Jamaica, soon come." - Shelley Worrell 31
