In Short – Across the street from the Howard El station, this long, narrow room serves as both social center and dining spot for laid-back cabdrivers craving dishes from their homelands. Island-inspired posters and ornaments adorn the salmon-colored walls; seating is at tight, two-person booths. The menu includes specialties like fried goat or griot (a traditional Haitian pork dish), plus generous sides of fried plantains and red beans and rice.
