New Caribbean restaurant


PRESS RELEASE 

Every Caribbean islander uses the fraise 'some'ting nice' when asked about what their are eating, was eating or drinking, this was the most obvious choice for the name of a new Caribbean restaurant by an eclectic group family and friend.

Former Trinidad and Tobago Olympian, Gold medalist, Soldier in the Trinidad and Tobago Army and Michael & Michael Cleaning service CEO: Michael Puckerin and his stunning wife, Trinidadian born, Culinary Arts Certified, Hair stylist, owner and founder of Curlz & Cutz Unisex Salon in The City Of Somerville: Susan Puckerin, along with cousin Accountant, former MAC Cosmetics General Manager and   International Make Up Artist: Kirk Cambridge - Del Pesche and friend, Former Jamaican Concacaf, Olympic and Raggae Boyz Goal Keeper, Construction Management BS turned Chef Extraordinaire (Specialising in Caribbean cuisine): Mark Reid, partnered to bring to those seeking an authentic Caribbean dinning experience, Some 'Ting Nice Caribbean Restaurant, which opened their doors on October 18th 2013.

Some 'Ting Nice believes in controlled free-style cooking, with a slash to the avant-garde, yet with feet faithful grounded in the traditional techniques, seasonings and spices of its rich and colorful Caribbean heritage, all dedicated to "Feed Yo Senses".


Its philosophy is one of ‘Welcome home’, with ingredients chosen for local and some imported from markets around the Caribbean, all this so diners feel like being in a Caribbean home, thus transporting their guests to the tropical shores and the warmth of Caribbean hospitality, presentation starts with a small bowl of soup to Pepper Shrimp, Codfish sands or Curry Mussels  to  Mespo Valley Pork, Tobago Special or even a hot Trini Roti and desserts like Black cake and Cassava pone served with Rum sauce, all served on stark white plates and for fellow West Indians, a trip back to childhood memories of Aunty Mable, Mama Jen or granny's cooking out side on a coal pot.

The menu pays homage to places and sayings from around the Caribbean diaspora , like "Leh we start now", "De Main dish", dishes named after villages and towns that make for great and interesting history lesson. 

With a liquor license in the works, one can heighten the Caribbean experience with traditional drinks like Sorrel, Mauby, Ginger Beer, Fruit punch, Carrot Juice and Cucumber Juice as well as Coca Cola products and coconut water.


Caribbean flags hang above the bar and The wall of Caribbean Heroes behind the bar and The wall of Maps of Caribbean islands both works in progress.

Set amidst a tropical 7' x 75' hand painted mural of scene of Sun, Sea,  Mountains and Sky, the decor is effortlessly quintessential Caribbean with comfortable seated dinning for 42 and a lounge area that seats 10.

There is a small stage at the back of the restaurant where the spoken word, jazz, blues and other forms of live entertainment will take place on Friday and Saturday evenings as the weeks progress.

This is a Caribbean culinary experience like no other. "Feed Yo Senses"
