Patois

You’re trying to plan a fun night out with friends but have been actively avoiding clubstaurants since, well, your entire adult life. That’s when you head to Patois, a Jamaican/Chinese/Korean spot in Little Italy. With drinks served in pineapples and pool toys hanging from the ceiling, it’s just as much of a place to party as it is to get a really solid meal. Come hungry and order The Whole Shebang, which serves three or four people and lets you try everything on the menu from the Jamaican slaw to the Chinese “Pineapple” Bun Burger to their excellent jerk chicken.
