During my trip to New York, I was feeling a little tired and just needed a comforting meal. What better opportunity to do some exploring for New York's best and finest soul food restaurants! And so, the adventure begins with a trip to Harlem on fine Sunday morning. The sun is out, the birds are singing and my stomach is growling.
The exploration began with a quick trip on the subway which took me to an iconic Jacob's Restaurant. Having never really tried soul food, I was in for a treat as Jacob's serves their diners buffet style! All the variety you can think of in one place and in one plate (or three), from the tender lucious oxtails to the melt in your mouth sticky ribs and all things in between. collard greens? yes Mac & Cheese? make it a double helping. Tasty, clean and friendly, it was quite the pleasant experience.
And what soul food journey would this be without a taste of the essential chicken and waffles! So a little later that day, I took a stroll down Malcom X Blvd and headed down to Amy Ruth;s for their famous Chicken & Waffles. Upon entering, I was greeted by incredibly friendly hosts and vivid empowering murals throughout the restaurant. As much as I love a buffet, I always enjoy a made to order meal especially when it fried chicken that best served immediately and this is exactly how Amy Ruth's does it. Crispy juicy friend chicken on a bed of equally crispy yet fully waffles, this meal certainly filled the soul. Thank you so much for joining me on this tour of Harlem.
