Top 10 Soul Food near me in New York, With Menu List

Soul food has been an NYC favorite since Sylvia’s opened in Harlem in the 1960s. That spot is still wildly popular, and their Sunday Gospel Brunch is a must, but several other eateries have put their own spins on classic Southern styles.

Here are five places in New York City where you can find out how they do it in the South.

1. Unique Eats Nyc

Harlem’s famed soul food restaurant, Amy Ruth, was inspired by the memory of a loving grandmother.

Amy Ruth Moore Bass was a native of Alabama. A devout Christian, she was the wife of Elijah Bass Sr., the mother of 10 children (7 daughters and 3 sons); and grandmother to 12 grandchildren.

Amy Ruth was also a farmer, gardener, the best cook in the world, and a very friendly person. She was a longtime member of her local church, the Jerusalem AME Church, where she was a Sunday school teacher and sang in the church choir.

Above all, Amy Ruth loved her family. She taught all of her children and grandchildren how to love each other, take care of each other, and respect themselves as well as others.

By his example, he also taught them how to love God and put God first in everything they do.
