Miss Lily's
Caribbean
Formica tables, reggae on the speakers, and glam servers navigating the brightly colored booths: Miss Lily's is a lively Jamaican restaurant on Avenue A that makes the case for Caribbean food without any downtown hedging. Curried goat, jerk chicken, and oxtail stew are the anchors, and a well-stocked bar means the rum is never far behind. The Michelin Guide has it selected, which tracks for a room this committed to a good time.
