If you work in Downtown Brooklyn, or are perpetually searching for the city’s best Trader Joe’s, you’re likely intimately familiar with the wonders of Dekalb Market Hall. With 33 vendors, making food decisions in this subterranean space isn’t easy, but if freshly fried chicken tenders, mac and cheese, and collard greens sound good today, Harlem Seafood Soul is a decent option. The bright red-and-gold stall is the second location of a Harlem food cart in Harlem that specializes in things like fried catfish and saucy shrimp po’boys. While you could bring your lunch back to your desk, you’ll have more fun sitting and eating on a stool here, rocking out to soul music and R&B, and chatting with the chef.

This Ecuadorian stall in Dekalb Market Hall is a great place to pick up some carne asada and a rack of glazed ribs.
