Fusion East Caribbean & Soul Food restaurant is a part of the changing fabric of Brooklyn’s East New York community. The restaurant is a full service Southern & Caribbean Fusion restaurant concept offering patrons and community residents a new, modernist fine dining experience that is the marriage of two distinct but complimentary culinary histories.
With its array of vibrant and exotic flavors in food, and a chic décor, Fusion East has catapulted into the new neighborhood hot spot for East New York and Brooklyn residents and visitors. From Caribbean food staples like curry goat and oxtails, Fusion East also features new twists to old Southern comfort foods like chicken and waffles – all done the Fusion East way.
Why did you select this location?
I selected this location because the community needed this restaurant. Area residents, including myself, always had to travel to other communities like downtown Brooklyn and Harlem to find quality Caribbean and soul food in a nice environment. Local competition included national franchises which did not reflect the diversity of the local African, Afro-Caribbean, and Afro-American community.
What do you love about your neighborhood?
What I love about the East New York neighborhood is the closeness of the people in the community, and the proximity to major destination points including malls, places of worship, and new parkland coming soon.
What do you expect the impact(s) of the Love Your Local grant funding to be on your business?
We expect a significant new revenue stream from food truck sales in the first year of operation. The goal is to establish a foothold during the inaugural season of the Shirley Chisholm State Park, opening in East New York in July 2019, and then expand food truck operations beyond the park to other locations in NYC and beyond. We expect the food truck to help promote the Fusion East brand to new customers and increase foot traffic to the existing restaurant, which is a stone's throw away from the new park.
