Jaywok › New York City
30 Haitian restaurants in New York City, listed by borough.
Order griot, fried marinated pork, with pikliz, the vinegary scotch bonnet slaw, and bannann peze, twice-fried plantains. Diri ak djon djon, rice cooked black with wild mushrooms, is the special-occasion side. Tasso (fried goat) and legim, a vegetable and meat stew, are the other staples. On January 1, Haitian Independence Day, everyone eats soup joumou, a squash soup once forbidden to the enslaved.
Most of the city's Haitian restaurants are in Brooklyn, in Flatbush and East Flatbush, where part of the area was designated Little Haiti in 2018. Our Little Haiti adventure walks Flatbush and Nostrand Avenues to Bebe Fritay, BunNan, Fancy Buffet and Blueline. Martine's Bistro on Flatbush was on Tastebuds.
