Hello All!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LEGENDARY HANK PERKINS

90 YEARS TO DAY!  APRIL 23, 2024

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GREAT HANK PERKINS of PERKS FINE CUISINE

 

FOUNDER OF THE GREATEST, ICONIC GATHERING SPOT FOR BLACK PEOPLE

PERKS! FINE CUISINE 

OF HARLEM U.S.A.!

 Those of my friends who lived and hung out at Perks in Harlem

Time to take a mini-stroll down Memory Lane 

There are so many of us still on this planet who remember making 

A Bee-line to PERKS  For HAPPY HOUR!

or For Dancing to the music of DJ TALL GUY

or For rubbing elbows with Black Leaders, Artists, Political Figures

or For giving our beloved NEW YORK KNICKS A HUG FOR A JOB WELL DONE 

NOTE: You could not come to PERKS if you were not a KNICKS FAN -

So Anthony Mason, Cal Ramsey and Charles Oakley made Perks their Harlem Hang Out

The Legend of Perks still lives!

So let's give a salute and a shout out to Hank Perkins - 

Who is as alive and well and feisty and funny as he always was Black Then!

PS: If any of PERK'S REGULARS have any photos of Perks from Black in the Day - 

Hit Me UP on FACEBOOK or INSTAGRAM

He set the bar  of quality and ambiance in Black owned clubs so high - no one has come since to surpass it!

Much love to my Big Brother/Friend 

HANK PERKINS

STAY BLESSED &

ECLECTICALLY BLACK 

Much Love 4 U & Gail! 

Gloria

 

STAY BLESSED

Hello to all my True New Yorkers from BLACK IN THE DAY

Please join me in giving a

BIRTHDAY SHOUT OUT TO THE

ONE AND ONLY GREAT

HANK PERKINS

founder of the

ICONIC

PERKS!!!

FINE CUISINE OF HARLEM, USA

APRIL 23, 19?? 

If they were still open - we'd be partying hardy right now!

Then take a stroll back down memory lane when we were hanging out in our upscale uptown club,

elbow to elbow,

Hanging for Happy Hour,

Flirting, dancing, dining, partying

Debating politics & solving world problems,

Wise-cracking and trading jokes

Hanging with Celebrities and Each Other

Rooting for the KNICKS

and having a grand  time in our own little

HAVEN IN HARLEM

We were uninvaded by caucasoids, no thugs, no negatives,

just good, clean,

All Us All the Time!

Perks set the trend, raised the bar -literally and changed the trend so that no other bars or clubs coming behind him could ever open a spot that wasn't high quality inside out.

SO PLEASE JOIN ME IN EXTENDING A

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

TO

HANK PERKINS

LONG MAY HE REIGN AS A HARLEM ICON
