Prime One 16/Boca Prime
One of the very first fine dining restaurants in Harlem is Prime One 16 now under new management known as Boca Prime. The first time I went I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance. The lights were dim and the music was soft. It’s not a huge establishment as it has only a handful of…

Mexican food, when it’s well done, can be of the most delicious food you have ever tasted. Enter Taqueria Santa Fe, a lovely and quaint little Mexican restaurant in East Harlem.

Ricardo’s Steak House
I’ve been to this place once. I loved the food and the waitstaff was great. Why have I not gone back? Well, because of where the restaurant is located the people that frequent it are not the best of people. While I was there there was a group so loud that I could barely hear…

Ina Garten: The Barefoot Contessa
I am a huge fan of this incredible chef. I have all of her cookbooks including my favorite and probably everyone elses, ‘Cooking For Jeffrey’. I have tried many a recipe from her books but my hands down favorites are her meatloaf and jambalaya recipes. Her summer pasta salad is the best thing ever on…
