Stir It Up’s Jerk Chicken and Ginger Beer

I was in the area to see my friends’ Architexture art show at Four11 Gallery. And oh dang, I had some awesomely good Jerk Chicken and homemade Ginger Beer at Stir It Up. The chicken was a bit more wet/sauced than I’ve had before, but it so yummy. The lady topped off the rice with the same sweet jerk chicken sauce. The homemade ginger beer was great and intensely spiced.

They also do some kind of vegetarian/vegan mock meat thing, if that’s your thing.

Veronica’s Kitchen West Indian Food Cart

Met up with Shonali for lunch at the popular Veronica’s Kitchen food cart down in the Financial District. My first time. I always heard the lines were long and food runs out quick, but this time it wasn’t so bad when I got there at one. The Goat Roti ($6.50) was soupy and had pumpkin sauce on it. The meat so tender and so good. I was sucking on the bones afterwards. The Jerk Chicken ($6) was some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Heavily spiced thick coating of the jerk seasoning. The hot sauce on the side was the bomb. One of the best Caribbean meals ever.
