You could stand on a corner and look around until a restaurant sign draws you in. But we've got a better idea. Each week, Riverdale Park-University Park Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out.
Here's this week's choice:
UNDER THE COCONUT TREE (http://patch.com/L-fxfH) If you're looking for a way to escape the cold weather, a trip to the Caribbean may be for you. But instead of booking a flight, why not take a trip through your taste buds at this Hyattsville restaurant that features various foods from a tropical paradise.
Try a jerk chicken sandwich for $6 or a beef patty for $2.39. They also have curried dishes in roti, or flat bread and a variety of desserts.
