Wait, there is a place that specializes in that Puerto Rican/Dominican carbohydrate goodness?! Brilliant! Put that diet on hold and head over for mashed garlicy green plantains mixed with whatever you want. Just the name alone will make you smile or at least go, “hmmm”. You know you want it! Stop playin’!

Succulent, traditional Cuban food is what you’ll find here at this jumping spot serving island favorites like skirt steak, marinated pork, and whole fried marinated snapper. Live music Tuesday through Sunday and salsa weekends for the dancer in you.

Named after one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy, the birthplace of pizza as we know it, Antika takes a passionate play at the New York favorite. The recipe, they say, is flour, a pinch of sea salt, New York water, experience and a whole lot of love. Go in and feel it for yourself.  

The former Billie’s Black, recreated as a seafood restaurant, still offers a casual, convivial neighborhood experience. Step in for some east and west coast oysters and a craft cocktail at the speakeasy-esque bar area or dine on their new menu.

So much more than its name would suggest, this coffee and wine bar has a couple of morsels up their sleeve for you. Panini, sandwiches and salads are a great start. Tapas create a social light meal. The entrees round out the full experience. You decide!
