Food in Prospect Lefferts Gardens

A third-generation Guyanese bakery that has been on this stretch of Nostrand Avenue for more than sixty years, directly across from Bar Bayeux. Pine tarts, currant rolls, cheese straws and black cake go across the counter in a paper bag, and there is a small cafe next door at 1107 if you want to sit with a coffee. Everything is priced in single dollars and the line moves at the speed of the register.

Tue to Sat, 7:30am to 7:30pm. Sun, 7:30am to 6:30pm. Closed Monday for walk-in

Jerk chicken off the drum with rice and peas and festival, ordered at a counter on Flatbush Avenue near Parkside and handed over in foil. The smoke is the first thing you notice from the sidewalk. It sits between Kings Theatre and Bar Bayeux, which makes it the one kitchen that covers both anchors on foot.

Daily, 11am to 11pm. The Flatbush Avenue listing claims 24 hours and older listings say 9pm, so the middle figure is written here
