Come early or get left hungry at A&A Bake & Doubles Shop, the Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn institution also known as “Doubles King.” Of course, if you can’t make the early afternoon cutoff time for doubles—the curried chickpea-filled chana bread rolls that double as Trinidad’s favorite street food— at A&A (it closes at 3) head around the corner to Fulton Street for the equally famed Ali’s Roti Shop, and smash some doubles as an appetizer for your goat roti. For a wild card, try the same at the lesser known but equally tasty Trini-Gul, also up the block.
