Traditional Caribbean beef patties. This isn't going to win points for ambience or decor, but it is a tried and true spot to grab some quick tasty food. I like getting a spicy beef patty and cocoa bread, putting the patty inside the bread and combining that with some hot sauce and a cold ginger beer!

If you really want a special pizza experience, I highly recommend Roberta’s. It’s not in my neighborhood and is difficult to get to via public transit, so I recommend getting a Lyft or Uber to take you there—but it is worth it! I’d definitely put this stop on your itinerary if you like pizza. They are also now on DoorDash, so you could get it delivered!

There are a few little corner delis/markets for getting grocery items you may need. The closest one is Tony’s Meat Market on the corner of Lefferts and Nostrand. I’ve been going there for years, and it’s a great group of guys who work there. They are normally open from 7am to 9pm everyday but I’m not sure if their hours are different right now considering COVID-19.
