Dishes at Pearl’s are attentively made by the owner Fallon Seymour and promise a taste you will not easily forget. Originally from Trinbago, Fallon Seymor relocated to New York more than a decade ago to pursue a career as a model. She then married John Seymour, a local with whom she launched a restaurant and later had some children. While Fallon Seymour concentrated on raising the kids, John Seymour launched Sweet Chick, a comfort food chain in London and Manhattan specializing in waffles and chicken. As the children grew older, it was natural for Fallon Seymour to launch her own restaurant chain. She launched Pearl’s, which was named after her grandmother, who used to be a bake maestro. She later embarked on a joint venture with Major Lazer’s DJ Jillionaire to launch Clyde’s, the first Trini bar in New York. Located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, away from the hustle and bustle of Bed-Stuy’s, Crown Heights’ and other Trinbagonian communities, Pearls offers a more modern taste of traditional staples of Caribbean cuisine without any compromise on authenticity.
