There is a site called Stuff Black People Like. http://www.stuffebplike.com/
They didn’t have anything about Harlem so we didn’t link to them.
This is a Harlem site, not a race site. It seems there are some readers who get the two confused. If new readers are looking for politics and race there are plenty of other websites that cater to those topics. We post those topics when they are connected to our community. Lately there have been a lot of racial and political topics in the news so we post them. There are other times when we have a deluge of arts and entertainment. That’s just who we are over here.
Thanks for the regular critiques, thought. They keep us on our toes!

I am all for parody and good laughs but the site you put on uptown flavor (What White People Like) is ridiculously not funny and racist. Stuff White People Like only fuels the racial tensions since most people are not educated enough to understand it humor.
Again – here is uptown flavor pretending to be non-racial but showing its hatred of white people and evil “gentrifiers”. If there was a site to educate white people moving to Harlem called “Stuff Black People Like” Al Sharpton would be on the streets calling for civil disobedience.
God, and to think you actually had something decent here.

D.Bell – you really cracked me up with,”And that foam on the top was very unappealing.” LOL!

I don’t think it is necessary a neighborhood destination for those that actually live in the neighborhood. I think it appeals to downtowners who want a “different” dining experience. Look at Rao’s with their very intimate seating and exclusive list of patrons. Not an everyday dining experience. The food is very high end but only needing one ravioli? Who eats just one? And that foam on the top was very unappealing. I won’t even say what it makes me think of.

Dining in East Harlem, not even a full meal but an array of samplings for $120+? So me and the wife can have a sampling in E. Harlem, tax & tip and we’re over $300? In East Harlem?
When you leave still hungry, do you go over to Patsy’s and grab a slice for $3? Sorry, my wife and I only have a combined income of upwards of $240,000 between the mortgage and a toddler, we cannot afford it….
