The wait is over. Acclaimed restaurateurs Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook of CookNSolo have officially taken their Israeli seafood restaurant from Brooklyn to Kensington.

Kensington now has a new dazzling pizza spot that’s more than just style, but substance.

Don’t call it a comeback, but the iconic Jamaican Jerk Hut returns after a five-year hiatus.
