There are many reasons why you should visit Pearl’s when you are in New York City. Pearl’s is alarmingly gentrifying, but it can be quite tricky to eat out in Williamsburg especially if you are not one to indulge in sub-standard $50 steaks in a mid-century furniture surrounding. Pearl’s is a highly reliable and affordable choice that will most certainly delight your taste buds. The old boomboxes on the lightly colored walls covered with beautiful murals, the reggae stars and vinyl of soca in the bathroom, and the bright neon signs–everything at this Williamsburg restaurant is a potent treatment against the seasonal affective disease. But above all else, the food. Of all Caribbean-style cuisines that get extensive coverage, Trinbagonian dishes are perhaps the most diverse, as they exquisitely blend East and South Asian traditions, African, and Amerindian traditions. This creates delightful juxtapositions: rum and butter garlic alternately drench dishes, powder curries awake to the juicy tropical fruit, and mellow coconut creates tangy tamarind. The fearless Fallon Seymor, together with the rest of Pearl’s team defies normal conventions at every turn, and create meals that make you fall in love with every bite. Pearl’s celebrates the distinctions and complexities of Trini cuisine while always being attentive about how to improve them. To cherish and to evolve, is what makes this delightful restaurant wholesome.…
