After visiting the Little Guyana neighborhood in New York back in 2021, I returned in February of 2023 to experience more of its incredible cuisine!
Little Guyana is a neighborhood in New York City that’s home to many people of Caribbean descent, from Guyana to Suriname to Trinidad and Tobago. The people there have brought the cuisine from their countries to the neighborhood, so it’s the perfect place to eat authentic Caribbean dishes!

SINGH’S ROTI SHOP AND BAR: Here, I had some fantastic shrimp doubles and pepper roti, as well a Solo soda, some Mauby, a unique seamoss milkshake, and some curry duck!
SYBIL’S: After checking out the kitchens at this popular spot, I tried some cassava pone, black pudding, and a phenomenal pepperpot that blew me away
VEGGIE CASTLE: Here, I got a seamoss & banana smoothie. They also sell lots of vegetarian patties including vegetarian “beef”, jerk plantain, and lentil.
AVENUE BBQ HUT: At this Caribbean barbecue joint, we tried some unreal barbecued lamb, jerk macaroni & cheese, potato salad, and corn soup!
KAIETEUR RESTAURANT: Here, we went to the bar and enjoyed a refreshing Banks Caribbean Lager, the national beer of Guyana.

Yayy! Glad you all finally met up & did this video 🙌🏽 The entire Singh's family is always so welcoming and their food is amazing 🔥

​@Davidsbeenhere you have to come to Toronto Canada 🇨🇦

[@karenroache4986]

My old neighborhood! Lived there 20 years ago before moving to the Bronx, and most certainly the best neighborhood for authentic Guyanese and T&T food. I now live in Brooklyn, and they have a few good spots, but I have to give it to Queens, hands down. Nostalgia.

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

When ever I visit NY I have to stop here!!! They are the Best !!!!!

[@nell1343]

You should do a meet and greet when you come to NY.

[@Davidsbeenhere]

yes!! They really are! Hope you are also doing really well Natasha! Great to see you here.

[@ryzenx1471]

Canadian Guyanese here, gotta say it's really hard to find food that anywhere close to home-cooked flavors. The only place i feel at home and never hesitate to order is restaurants on Liberty Ave. Been going there for 20 years almost every year and it really feels like home every time. Those shots of the streets really takes me back, miss it so much.

[@k.z.25.4]

Great country, great food. Guyana & Trinnidad & Tobago with a lot of Indian people, culture and food. You can clearly see all of these people look exactly like Indians from South Asia. 🇮🇳🇹🇹🇬🇾🧡💙💛

[@Davidsbeenhere]

Yes it’s very similar! ❤

[@markboodram2681]

@@Davidsbeenhere Mostly everyone came from north India not south. A lot of them also mixed with other people and also Africo people that you looking at and saying south.

[@Manlkiwaa]

Trini and Guyanese foods ...very similar... two of the best in the World for me ..simply because of the many various influences of peoples and cultures ...hence the tastes is just out of this World....Very lively and entertaining video. Thanks David and Nate ...safe travels.

[@Davidsbeenhere]

Yes they are so good!

[@Csi807]

Not really! Many dishes Trinis make and Guyanese don’t. They can’t cook. Food taste awful..

[@yung21king]

Looks like Indian food

[@Kimmy_95]

As a Trini, I look forward to tasting some of Guyana's cuisine one day.....Even though we have some similarities with our dishes, there's many differences so it's definitely something I look forward to.

[@Kimmy_95]

​@@yung21king Many Indians were brought to Guyana, Trinidad & a few other Caribbean islands. HENCE their influence with our food....Look it up and you'll see the connection.

[@dianepersaud8348]

That pepperpot and Guyana bread looks scrumptious!!!!

[@2075vj]

David, you’ve made this former New Yorker envious. Boy do I miss New York such a diversity of cultures and great food. I’m now Itrying to find my way around here in Fort Myers Florida to see what’s good. But nothing could beat New York. Thanks for sharing as usual your biggest fan.😊

[@Davidsbeenhere]

New York is truly amazing! I am a native Floridian, definitely more Florida videos coming soon in case that helps your search! And yeah, New York is truly hard to beat. Thank you so much for the lovely comment and of course may you have a blessed week as well. Thank you 2075vj!
