GDW EVENT ALERT - HARLEM WEEK AUGUST 20-26 HARLEM RESTAURANT WEEK

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All:
Harlem has always been a food mecca for me.  Of course my mainstay, and my home away from home has always been Sylvia's Queen of Soul Food - and the Woods family have maintained a 60+ year tradition.  But there are other equally good restaurants in Harlem, depending on your taste.  Recently opened is Savannah Rae's that offers healthy alternative cuisine - and of course Red Rooster. Malcolm X Boulevard has become a food fan corridor.  You can go from one restaurant to another and find something fantastic in each one of them.

So BonApetite y'all
Stay Blessed &

44th ANNUAL HARLEM WEEK CONTINUES TO EXPLORE THE DIVERSE FLAVORS OF
HARLEM CUISINE WITH THE 2018 HARLEM RESTAURANT WEEK FROM AUGUST 20-26


For over four decades, The Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce has celebrated Harlem’s rich cultural heritage through the month-long celebration of HARLEM WEEK—lovingly described “the longest week of the year.”  From Monday, August 20 – Saturday, August 26, the festival will highlight the incredible diversity of Harlem’s international culture and cuisine with Harlem Restaurant Week, the annual culinary initiative that allows visitors to sample some of the best foods that Harlem has to offer representing cultures from across the globe.  

The 2018 Harlem Restaurant week will feature everything from Southern soul food Cuban, Latin and Caribbean dishes to Asian cuisines, and food from the various nations in Africa, giving visitors a chance to explore the international cultural influences that make Harlem a celebrated home for immigrants from all nations. THE LIST OF PARTICIPATING RESTAURANTS IS LISTED BELOW.

“New York – and particularly the village of Harlem - is beloved to visitors from all around the world because we are the true definition of a melting pot – we welcome so many different types of people from all over the world to come, visit and be a part of the culture here,” said Lloyd Williams, President of The Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce. “Our culinary initiative, Harlem Restaurant Week, is so important because we know that nothing brings people together like sitting across a table with one another to enjoy a great drink or break bread together.  With that in mind, we a thrilled to partner with 16 Harlem-based restaurants and eateries for this year’s celebration.”

The restaurants will feature menu items ranging from classics like smothered pork chops, hot and sweet chicken, and crab cakes with mango salsa to paella Valenciana, Southern fried chicken with eggnog waffles, and lobster rolls.  Also featured will be a variety of cocktails, including mojitos, caipirinhas and Cuban- and Harlem-influenced fruit drinks of every flavor.
