Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in life through my thoughts on travel, style, food and even occasionally work.

Stir it Up: 55 BLACK OWNED RESTAURANTS AND BARS IN NEW YORK CITY AND BROOKLYN

Stir it Up: 55 BLACK OWNED RESTAURANTS AND BARS IN NEW YORK CITY AND BROOKLYN

A necessary repost from I DON'T DO CLUBS, because a girl likes to eat.  

In a city filled with thousands of eatery options, it’s hard to know which ones are for us, by us. Enter I DON’T DO CLUBS! IDDC has complied a list of the best Black owned restaurants and bars in Harlem and Brooklyn.

Due to an overwhelming response, I DON’T DO CLUBS has decided to update “50 Black Owned Restaurants and Bars in New York City and Brooklyn” to include more locations and will create Black Owned Restaurants and Bars lists for all other major cities. Want to be featured? Send an email to genese@idontdoclubs.com with “Black Owned Lists” in the subject.
