Tawana B.Tawana Burnett: Take the late show dinner reservation and stay for the after hours party. Cornbread was especially good. This was the jerk chicken. Not too spicy.

ECavaECava: Chicken & waffles = super salty but it comes with foie so it's all good. The maitake dumplings & pork buns = fantastic. Good Ramos Gin Fizz, too.

Harlem A.Harlem Ambassador: Dark, sexy, and unexpected....and that's the crowd! The bar ain't bad if you can get a seat and ignore the door admission. Always something going on. The real vibe happens here (under the Red Rooster)

Mario M.Mario Milovanovik: Everything that you can possibly imagine. Food, people, music. Awesome

Harlem A.Harlem Ambassador: Lots of planning went into the creation of this locale that has changed it's name to appease the neighboring Lenox Lounge. which will relocate nearby. The café draws crowds and nights run late.
