The owner of Sylvia's restaurant in Harlem has died. She was very famous for her restaurant. The last time I was in New York, I had the treat of eating food from there through a recommendation of one of the locals. I had ribs, Collards, cornbread, and a cup of collard broth which is nicknamed "Pot likker" to dip the cornbread in. It was awesome! The ribs were like butter that fell of of the bones, and the collard greens were exceptional too, and not a pile of mush from overcooking that many places seem to do that do not know how to cook them correctly. The BBQ sauce is a bit sweet, but still went with the ribs really well. You can even buy the sauce at supermarkets throughout the USA.
I assume that her restaurant will stay open, as it is so popular with people from all over the world. Below is Mrs. Woods Obit, and I have also linked to the restaurant menu so that the next time you are in New York you can sample some of the delicious food. For a restaurant in New York, the prices are awesomely inexpensive for the superb "Down home" quality of the food. I guarantee you will love it!
I can't wait to take my Partner to New York so that I can show him what real food tastes like, and among the authentic New York Pizzas and other goodies, an order from Sylvia's will be top on the list!!!
RIP to a wonderful and brilliant Lady.
