Pete’s Place Food Shop

You walk in and don’t know what to expect until the food comes out. Hands down one of the best omelettes I’ve ever had. I will be back for sure! Do not miss out on this GEM!

It's a tiny stand in a building, but man, they are slinging out some good food! You can smell the yumminess the moment you open the building door. Great food and extremely reasonable prices. He does a nice jerk seasoning, and it's a place every employee downtown should check out, especially if they're hoofing it to the Ellicott Square Building. It's right across the street! His crab cakes are out of this world, his Rice Bowls with jerk chicken or shrimp... wow! His chili is also fantastic, and to be able to add on a grilled cheese sandwich for $1 is simply top notch. You get to watch the food bring prepped, and unlike some places, he takes cash and credit. I haven't been for breakfast sandwiches yet, but I heard they are phenomenal, and I don't have a single doubt about it. Since it's just a part of the NYS Labor Department building, don't go in expecting a place to sit. You've got enough room to order and wait, but the food is SO worth taking back to your desk.

This place is excellent! I got the Jamaica jerk chicken rice bowl and it was great. The large was more than enough and will go with a small next time. This is located inside the same building as the department of labor.
