Description

At this strictly vegetarian Jamaican, a pristine steam table displays the dozen or so selections, and a choice of five will set you back around $7. One receptacle holds a stew that's a dead ringer for curried goat-it turns out to be fried tofu in a savory vegetarian gravy. Even the fake drumsticks look real. Apart from meat manques, there's a pigeon pea stew, an honest dish of chopped collards, and a lo mein made with spaghetti, reflecting the Chinese culinary influence in the Caribbean. Open 24 hours.
