History
The second outpost of Miss Lily's opened in the East Village at Seventh Street and Avenue A. Miss Lily's 7A serves lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, as well as a late night menu to cater to the neighborhood's buzzing nightlife. The decor takes inspiration from the signature clashing colors and asymmetrical shapes that once defined the East Village's punk scene, while also evoking an 80's Jamaican diner vibe. The restaurant's distinctive facade recaptures the vintage look and feel of the once-popular East Village bodega storefronts that have all but disappeared. This location also features an extensive Rum Bar offering over 100 varieties of Caribbean rum in addition to a full selection of wine, beer and cocktails.
Specialties
Drawing from the diverse roots of Jamaican cuisine, the menus offer modern renditions of island specialties like jerk chicken, escovitch fish, oxtail and curried goat - seasoned with scotch bonnet peppers and fiery jerk spices. In short, Miss Lily's is an island vacation in the middle of a busy cosmopolitan city.
