Negril Village

Brooklyn is the Caribbean food capital of the US but when you don't feel like going to Brooklyn there's Negril.

I read this article about 100 black owned restaurants and bars in NYC. I'm determined to make my way down the list. Beginning at Negril Village.

We randomly stopped by midday. The restaurant had a great vibe, we were seated on the upper level. The menu is filled with the usual suspects; oxtail, stew chicken, and so much yummy sea food. My boyfriend had the curry shrimp. It was presented beautifully and he loved it. A bit on the spicy side but nothing crazy. His only complaint was that he wished that the portion was larger.

I chose the stewed chicken. As a West Indian, I won't tolerate less than perfection on this dish. It was just ok. It could have been warmed up a bit more also. I wouldn't get this dish again. Other than the food,  the sevrice was super slow. Not sure why since the restaurant was nearly empty.

I would go back to Negril as soon as I finish going to the 99 other restaurants on this list. 
Enjoy the action shots!
