Negril: Jonesing for Jamaican food? No problem, mon. Don’t let the fact that you can’t afford a trip to the Caribbean stop you from eating their delicacies. Cruise on over to Chelsea restaurant Negril for Caribbean dishes like coconut-crusted shrimp ($12), saltfish cook-up ($10), sweet plantains ($4), and, of course, jerk chicken ($9). There’s also jerk spiced kingfish and jerk spiced salmon ($12 each) for those who want something a little different. Move your hips to the bumping reggae music while you suck down an Island Punch or a multitude of island-infused rums at the bar. Sure, it’s no beachy vacation, but at least you’ll feel like you’re there after gorging yourself on all their tasty treats. |
