"I moved back here in 2020, and Yammz Caribbean was right around the corner. At that faded St. John's Place storefront, I could get a jerk chicken dinner with rice and peas and plantains, tart sorrel, steamed cabbage, a side of macaroni salad, jerk wings, and some black cake for about 60 bucks."
"Yammz got loads of orders from what I saw, but then in 2023, put the place up for sale. Auntie and her mom, mainstays from past generations, seemed tired of operating it alone."
"There are so many places just like Yammz that, in all the ways that count, could never be Yammz. There's C.A.S. West Indian on Kingston, where the old regulars play dominoes 'til dusk."
Crown Heights is loved for its vibrant community, including Hassidic neighbors and beautiful sunsets. The author fondly recalls Yammz Caribbean, known for its jerk chicken and generous portions. The restaurant offered a variety of Caribbean dishes, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Other local eateries like C.A.S. West Indian and Soldier's also provide delicious food, but Yammz held a special place due to personal connections. In 2023, Yammz was put up for sale, and the owners, feeling overwhelmed, closed the restaurant, leaving a void in the community.
