Here is a restaurant that cut its teeth downtown in Gramercy Park for years before finding a second home here in Harlem on 139th street. The cousin-chefs/owners celebrate an amalgamation of tastes from their native West African roots with French cookery and Mediterranean simplicity. Taste for yourself!

This Somalian restaurant is the first of its kind in Little Africa, Harlem and perhaps New York City. They might not have been here when you needed Somalian food, but they are right on time! Inside their small footprint of a restaurant, they are serving big flavors. First time? Try the popular Somali dish hilib ari of roasted goat served with rice and bizbaz sauce. Sounds serious!

 Seasoned Vegan is a family business owned and operated by mother and son, Brenda and Aaron Beener. They pride themselves on being loyal to their vegan/vegetarian customers by maintaining an organic, 100% vegan menu while creating meals that are delicious enough to satisfy the most skeptical omnivore.

 Seasoned Vegan specializes in preparing a very unique type of cuisine: gourmet vegan soul food. The term “soul food” is used loosely because they are not referring exclusively to the typical cuisine of the Southern region of the United States.
