Joenise Restaurant

Things happen at a relaxing pace at Joenise, a Haitian restaurant in Crown Heights. People drop in, order some fried turkey with black rice along with a house-made juice, and decide to hang around for a while just to socialize. This place has a different menu every day, so be sure to check to see what’s available. Two of our favorite dishes are the creamed spinach-like lalo and the cow feet soup with shredded beef and dumplings. You’ll see multiple folks order a literal tub of the soup to go, and you should do the same the next time you're in the neighborhood.
