IRONBOUND. Soul food has never been done as right as it is at Je's, a friendly little storefront dive on William that sees folks from all walks of life come through its doors from week to week. Down-home delights, most of them Southern-inspired, like short ribs, fried chicken, catfish, mac-n-cheese and greens highlight the daily spreads, and rumor has it you just can't find better eats in town ­ just ask the suit-wearing politicians, off-duty cops, and celebs (Queen Latifah, for one) who make frequent pit-stops at Je's. NB If you're coming for dinner, keep in mind they close early.
