YORK, Maine Drive by the Meadowbrook Plaza these days with the windows open or the top down and you may catch a whiff of Caribbean spice in the air.
Thanks to York resident Oneil Clarke and his life and business partner, Avenique White, the town can once again add Jamaican cooking to the international flavor offerings available locally.
Clarke and White opened their shop, Island Spice Corner, in December. (A previous Caribbean market, Jamaican Jerk Center, which had been operated in Cape Neddick by other people, closed down in 2018.)
Clarke, who has lived in York for the past eight years, has cooked in a number of area restaurants, including Robert’s Maine Grill in Kittery. After closing time, he would often cook his hometown specialties for staff.
