Queens the burgeoning borough that has areas reminiscent of suburbia and is home to the most ethnic groups in the 5 boroughs, offers up many, if not the best ethnic foods, and where the best Jamaican party can be found, aptly on Jamaica Ave. Yeah it’s kind of far but if you catch the Queens bound E train on a good day it’ll run express to the last stop, where the Jamaican eats can be found. A window front shop, Jamaican Flavors offers a simple menu of patties. From the standard beef or jerk chicken patties to calaloo (creamy spinach) and saltfish. To eat it right you should order the pattie sandwiched between coco bread and a slice of cheese. Yes it’s quite the conundrum eating a breaded pattie as a sandwich with more bread and cheese. But forget about the carbs, you just burned a good bit off waiting in the utter cold for your jerk chicken pattie. Nom nom nom….
