Since a girl has to eat (at least) 3 times a day 365 days a year, it’s no surprise that I don’t eat every meal in Harlem. With Harlem’s new culinary identity is still in its infancy, it lacks the type of adventure and sophistication that some of Manhattan’s more affluent and trendy neighborhoods can support. Since New York City is one of the most fascinating food wonderlands in the world, I finally decided to start a section of my blog reviewing other noteworthy New York Food Adventures. So Harlem, even though I am admitting to cheating, please don’t divorce me. You’re still my first New York Neighborhood love and the only place in the five boroughs I have ever called home.
