It's one thing to capture the essence of Caribbean culture through music and food, but it's quite another to create an authentic atmosphere where people can socialize, dance or just relax for the evening. You don't have to take a trip to the tropics to experience Jamaican jams or lively Cuban ambience -- here are three spots in Nassau County that'll take you from New York's fall chills to the heat of the Caribbean -- at least for a few hours.
93 N. Park Ave., Rockville Centre
Happy hour is Wednesdays through Saturdays 5 to 7:30 p.m. with $5 cocktails and appetizers. There's R&B music 9 p.m.-midnight Thursdays, but the big night is Saturday, when live reggae bands draw a mature late-night crowd.
Roosevelt Field, Garden City
39 Post Ave., Westbury
"You know everyone and the music is OK." DJs spin Fridays-Sundays starting at 8 p.m. The complimentary buffet at 10:30 p.m. Fridays and Sundays is always a big draw.
