Jasmine’s also features pan performances every Thursday and live DJs every Saturday.

Lifestyle entrepreneur Jasmine Gerald is the driving force behind Jasmine's Caribbean Cuisine which opened in 2021 during the height of the covid19 pandemic. Gerald said she specifically launched the business during the pandemic because, “We wanted to bring back community, job security and a safe space to enjoy each other's company. My deep-rooted passion for Caribbean flavours, and a drive to showcase the richness of this cuisine to a wider audience coupled with this void left by the pandemic, birthed Jasmine's Caribbean Cuisine, the lively culinary escape to the Caribbean right in the heart of Manhattan.”

Drawing on inspiration from her Antiguan, Dominican and Virgin Island roots, and her travels across the Caribbean islands, Jasmine, along with chef Basil Jones and her diligent team continue to curate menus that showcase the region's rich tapestry of tastes, while embracing modern culinary trends, the release said.
