Miss Lily's SoHo

Imagine a meal at your favorite beach shack, and that will give you an inkling of Miss Lily's, a Caribbean oasis in the middle of downtown Manhattan. Specializing in a modern approach to classic island cooking, Miss Lily's draws from the diverse roots of Jamaican cuisine and offers delicacies like jerk chicken, escovitch fish, oxtail and curried goat seasoned with fiery jerk spices. The interiors are colorful and cheerful: checkered floors, vinyl booths and walls decked out with album covers spanning 50 years of Jamaican music history. In short, Miss Lily's is an island vacation in the middle of a busy city.
