Actually I think it (sign) might be gone now.

Not long ago I saw workmen in there refurbing but I still don't know what is going in there. Anybody have any news on that? Any clue what is happening?

There is one thing that we could really use in this neighborhood, some good West Indian food. Sadly, it all appears to have left.

Hell. We need some good Indian Indian food. Amin sucks.

Can Sugarcane cure a West Indian food craving?

For West Indian take out, that candy store place across from the park on 5th Ave (near 4th St) is pretty good . . . tiny kitchen dishing out the roti, etc. It's practically invisible, but I don't think they've actually disappeared.
it's not The Islands, but it's a closer walk.

I don't know what distinction gags2008 is making, but West Indian and Caribbean mean the same thing.

Since I'm practically in Greenwood Heights, we're talking a reallly long walk, maybe when Spring comes and I take my bike out of hibernation. I usually go down to the Drumming circle on Sundays and get my West Indian on there or almost anywhere on that side of the park where roti abounds.

Ok, this is why we need a cap on gentrification.

that side of the park has way better roti etc
the candy store is a stop-gap measure

I like Ali's . . .
