(This venue is closed.) The island is Grenada, and the national dish is oildown ($10).
Cooked in coconut milk, herbs, and spices till they develop an oily sheen, the ingredients — including plantain, breadfruit, salt cod, dumplings (the oblong, doughy Caribbean sort), goat, and calalloo (okra and taro leaves) — aren't overwhelmingly rich, just very satisfying. Available Saturday only, from early afternoon until the stewpot bottoms out a few short hours later.
