Description

After touring the Weeksville Houses, a miraculously preserved African-American village founded after the abolition of slavery in New York in 1827, we dropped in at Carolina Creek for refreshment. This fish-and-chips shop specializes in fried whiting, by filet or whole fish, matched with some of the best french fries in Brooklyn, made from fresh potatoes with little bits of skin adhering. As an additional fillip, the pork ribs are also excellent, mantled with a thick sauce that's not too sweet. The extensive menu is delivered with real Southern hospitality at this mainly carryout establishment–where you can also dine in at the lone table.

The barbecued ribs aren't bad, either. More »
