Taste the Caribbean in Brooklyn
Travel+Leisure US|June 2024
ALL IT TAKES is a stroll through the streets of the Crown Heights and Flatbush neighborhoods to catch the vibe. Spiced smoke from grills wafts in the air; sidewalk markets overflow with mango, soursop, wiri-wiri peppers, and djondjon (dried black mushrooms); and homes and cars display flags as bright and joyful as the accented voices of the people who proudly represent them.

Taste the Caribbean in Brooklyn

Brooklyn is home to the largest population of Caribbean people outside of the islands themselves. To immerse yourself in the borough's diaspora, pay a visit to these cafés, restaurants, and bars.

ISLAND POPS

One day in 2014, Shelly Marshall was craving soursop ice cream, a favorite from her native Trinidad. Her husband, Khalid Hamid, tried out a home recipe: it wasn't perfect, but the couple realized they'd stumbled onto something. They started selling Island Pops at local markets, before opening their brick-and-mortar shop in Crown Heights in 2018. Now they serve a variety of treats, like sorrel-rum sorbet, guava-cheesecake ice cream, and passion-fruit popsicles.

DESTINATION OF THE YEAR Thailand

Full disclosure: I didn't like Bangkok at first. I didn't get it—the chaos, the traffic, the fact that everything was hard to find. But like all good love affairs, my relationship with Thailand—which deepened when I moved from Vietnam 12 years ago to work at Travel + Leisure Southeast Asia, where I'm now editor in chief—took time to blossom.
