the village jerk cafe opens in my sisters room
The Village Jerk Cafe owner, Patricia Annison Racines
An Alternative Way to Run a Restaurant
The Village Jerk Café, located at 1271 Glenwood Avenue, officially opened yesterday in East Atlanta.
Sharing space with My Sisters Room, an alternative club, The Village Jerk Café will take transformation from restaurant to nightclub Wednesday through Sunday.
Owner Patricia Annison Racines was glad to share the space in an effort to decrease costs and use an existing liquor license.
“At 9:30 p.m., we will pick up all of our stuff and [My Sisters Room] will do their thing. Then in the morning, we will put it all back.”
With 2000 square feet of space and a newly built covered outdoor patio, The Village Jerk Café will be serving Caribbean and Latino cuisine.
The majority of the menu is built around their jerk spice. “We can jerk anything. Bring in a shoe and we’ll jerk it for you,” Racines says. Their jerk spices are used to season chicken, pork, wings and seafood.
The planwich, a sandwich that utilizes fried green plantains as a bread equivalent, is served with jerk pork or jerk chicken topped with tropical coleslaw.
The Village Jerk Café will be open Tuesday through Saturday until 9pm. Brunch will be served from 10-3pm on Saturday and Sunday.
With a menu offering authentic Caribbean and Latino cuisine, The Village Jerk Café wont break the bank as all menu items are priced below $15 — and hey, stay all the way until 10 and enjoy My Sisters Room directly after.
