This week, 14850 Dining is checking out the new Kingston’s Cuisine, a Jamaican spot that’s expanded from its pop-up past at the K-HOUSE karaoke lounge into a permanent location at the Cayuga Shopping Center. It’s in the corner spot that used to be Friends & Pho, or if you’ve been here a while, Peking Restaurant.

Warm up to the island vibe at Kingston’s Cuisine, now in its own location
