Lakruwana
Stapleton's museum-piece Sri Lankan dining room — walls covered in masks and artifacts shipped from the island — with a weekend clay-pot buffet that is one of NYC's great cheap feasts.

New Asha
A bare-bones Tompkinsville counter that has anchored Little Sri Lanka since 1999 — steam-table curries, staggering value, ten minutes' walk from the ferry.
Order: Chicken kottu roti, or point at the curry steam table for a heaped rice plate; grab vegetable roti for the walk back.

Ralph's Famous Italian Ices (original)
The 1949 Port Richmond original of the now-everywhere chain, still run by the founder's grandsons — a summer pilgrimage window a block from Denino's.
Order: A cremolata (creamier than an ice) — lemon or chocolate-vanilla swirl; the pairing with a Denino's pie across the way is the classic double-header.
verified open for 2026 season (ralphsices.com locations page + Yelp updated Apr 2026); seasonal — roughly spring through fall, evenings busy

Royal Crown Bakery
Old-school Italian bakery-cafe on Hylan where the bread is baked on premises and the heroes are built on it minutes later — the lard bread alone justifies the trip.
