Kingston Tropical
Since 1970, this takeout spot has been obliging Wakefield with Jamaican patties done by the book. Marigold yellow, faithfully crimped and perfumed with thyme, they are flaky without collapsing. The beef is juicy, but the chicken is even better, especially when eaten while sitting on a concrete slab as the No. 2 train thunders overhead. Give thanks to John Levi, who founded the bakery with his wife, Joyce, and who died just a few months ago.
