The only thing sweeter than Alcenia's famous 'Ghetto-Aid' (a diabetes-inducing fruit drink) at this delicious soul-food restaurant is owner Betty-Joyce 'BJ' Chester-Tamayo – don't be surprised to receive a kiss on the top of your head as soon as you sit down.
The lunch menu at this funky little gold- and purple-painted cafe rotates daily – look for killer fried chicken and catfish, melt-in-the-mouth spiced cabbage and an exquisite eggy custard pie.
