@butteronaroll_: Black Owned and Black American cuisines in NYC ♥️ Soul food, Creole & Cajun food, Southern Desserts 💛 You want to understand Black American culture in NYC, start here: 📍 Filé Gumbo Bar — Creole Louisiana cuisine right in the city. Chargrilled oysters, boudin, dirty rice egg rolls, red beans and rice, seafood gumbo packed with flavor. Every dish reflects the blend of West African, French, Spanish, and Southern influence that defines Creole cooking. 📍 Cake Man Raven — A Harlem legend baking for 45+ years. He started at 13, inspired by his grandmother who migrated from South Carolina. Red velvet went from a Southern classic to NYC famous because of his iconic recipe — supremely moist, vibrant red, layered with rich cream cheese frosting and chopped pecans. A cake deeply rooted in the South and often associated with Juneteenth because of its bold red color symbolizing resilience. 📍 Amy Ruth’s — A Harlem staple serving traditional soul food. Chicken and waffles trace back to 1938 at Wells Supper Club, where jazz musicians needed a meal between dinner and breakfast. Crispy chicken, buttery waffle edges, cheesy mac and cheese, complimentary cornbread — comfort food with history. 📍 FieldTrip — Chef JJ Johnson highlights the diaspora through rice, one of the most important ingredients in Black foodways. Their crab cake bowl nods to Southern and Mid-Atlantic coastal traditions, where enslaved Africans used fishing and tidal knowledge brought from West Africa to harvest blue crab in the Carolinas — shaping the flavors we still celebrate today. Black-owned businesses in NYC aren’t just places to eat. They’re living history. Save this for your next Harlem food day 🤎 #nyc #blackownedbusiness #soulfood #seafood @FIELDTRIP NYC @CAKE MAN RAVEN @Filé Gumbo Bar
