Are you a foodie who must take a picture of all your meals before you eat it? Or maybe you’re someone who loves exploring new restaurants and expanding your palate on new dishes. Restaurant Week (Jan. 21-Feb. 9) allows you to do that on a budget.
And what better way to indulge than by supporting Black-owned restaurants that serve up amazing flavors and rich culture?
Here are five spots you won’t want to miss.
1. Melba’s
If you want to get a true soul food experience from a place that puts the soul of Harlem in their food, you must give Melba’s a try. The restaurant was established in 2005 by its founder Melba Wilson who was inspired to start her own restaurant after working in a few herself. Being born and raised in Harlem, Melba’s goal was to bring an exquisite dining experience back to her community.
For Restaurant Week, she curates a prix-fixe menu ensuring that it embodies the same essence of the original one.
She maintains the theme of comfort in the prix fixe menu, offering a three course dinner for $45 with some of her best dishes. Diners get their choice of one appetizer, one entrée, and one dessert. For the main course and appetizer, customers have three choices for each. They end their meal with a sweet surprise of dessert options.
