LE GENIE RESTAURANT – Restaurant

Haitian cooking on NE 167th Street, open from eight in the morning until late, which makes it breakfast spot, lunch counter and dinner table depending when you walk in. Fritay-style fried fish, wings done to order, and cornmeal with liver and boiled plantains sit alongside a juice-and-smoothie bar that does real business on its own. Sundays run a separate menu. The room is small and warm, portions come oversized, and regulars talk about how fresh everything tastes. Weekend nights fill up — call ahead.
