The Expanding Empire of Rice

This may not be news to some of you, but Rice, which just opened a place on Lexington and 28th, is expanding in Fort Greene after having hit Dumbo. According to the proverbial "girl behind the counter," we should expect it at the end of this month.

I have to give Rice credit for their high-quality, cheap eats. For under $10.00 you can gorge yourself on Thai coconut milk curry, Indian chicken curry, Vietnamese lemongrass chicken salad or Ratatouille and more. Of course each comes with a choice of exotic rices like a plump black rice or Bhutanese red.

They also serve a variety of appetizers and special fruit juices. This is the second Nolita establishment, after Cafe Habana, to open shop in Fort Greene and I'm not complaining.

Rice will be located at 166 Dekalb Avenue. 718-858-2700
