Melba's on 114th and Fredrick Douglas has egg nog waffles. Please go there and try it
Another good place to visit is the Malcom Shabazz market on 116th St. They sell African imports.
Loved this episode. You and your friend Evan have great energy, you should do more collaborations with Evan as a guide, he is endearing and natural. When Evan hugged Head Chef Sister Robinson, I got choked up because it was reminiscent of how we were raised back in the day, hug Mom and Aunties, show them respect for preparing a wonderful meal.
S C
yes, yes, YES!!! Well said and so true S C!
I've never been to New York so I never knew harlem was a part of Manhattan.
I'm from N.Y.. now living in the D.R. . I lived 139st between 5th & Lenox. Walked thru Strivers Row almost every day. In the spring and early summer, the trees blossoming makes that street beautiful, and expensive.. 1- million and up for a huge townhouse. One of many beautiful streets in Harlem...N.Y.C.
Those townhouses were built by the Dutch.
I lived on 140th and seventh miss my city
Evan is a great guide! Awesome he is a Harlem native and like he made the point that if you’re from Harlem, you say you’re from Harlem, not Manhattan.
Yes, so true.
Amen
Okkkk
What if you're from Wash. Heights or Inwood?
Evan comes across as such a cool man & a good guide .
He really is.
@@HereBeBarr does he have a channel?
He may start one soon.
agreed
Just left Harlem New York. We were there for about 4 days on vacation. I enjoyed every minute of it!
Amy Ruth's was so good!!!!
Harlem will always be my home. No matter where I go in life. 💯
Amy Ruth's my next stop in Harlem!
I love how that dude got knowledge on where he’s from. That’s sum kids ain’t with nowadays.
When in San Francisco Bay area, don't miss the chicken & waffles at "Brown Sugar Kitchen" in West Oakland. I discovered it by accident because I would ride past on my bike at 7 a.m. heading to work, and I was like "what's that?!" Turns out it's a destination. The waffle is a revelation.
New Yorker here. Been to Sylvia's, been to Melbas, been to Amy Ruths. Brown Sugar Kitchen is incredible. In. Cred. I. Ble.
PROUD TO BE AN HARLEM CITIZEN, BELLISIMO HISTORY, FOOD, CULTURE OF MY HARLEM NYC.

I agree
I concur
I really love jazz and its history, and even though the music was born in New Orleans, New York City has been the capitol of jazz for a century. Harlem especially. It’s absolutely essential to go there.
I haven't been to Harlem in 5 years, I love the atmosphere of the people.
Changed a lot. Not even funny. I didn't visit for two years and everything is different now. Think only a few spots are the same
dag!!!
I did your Chinatown list....on to Harlem! Evan is the G.O.A.T. Team Adriana has never met a plate of food she didn't like #loveher.
@2:12 “and now because of how things are changing here.,” my man trying to be PC and not say “gentrification”. Oh I miss Harlem. I gotta move back there!
I like what Evan said, and I will visit Harlem next time in NYC.
More NY soul food please! Thank You for sharing ❤
Heard great things about Amy Ruth’s - looks like we need to go!
That you do senor.
Harlem is the best place to visit and tour and has a rich history of the people that build it and made it the best African American community in all of NYC and The United States! Love your video!

I
I love New York!
Love Harlem cozy neighborhood restaurants, great soul foods
I'm from Harlem
1. Absolutely loved Adriana’s reaction to the snow! 2. Awesome video as usual and Evan was a great guide 3. I want chicken and waffles now
hahahah
Adriana is amazing.
John you gotta hit up Jacob's on 129th and Lennox. I used to go there Friday night and enjoy the live band play the classics. The food alone is BANGIN! but with the live music, it takes it the stratosphere. Gotta make a part 2 with Evan.
This is in the works ;)
That's my new neighborhood! Literally.
Awaiting on word my apartment application was accepted....
There are GREAT places to eat and drink at in the area. Cheaper than UWS, Midtown and further downtown. Quieter too.
Already have been to Amy Ruth's and Red Rooster/Ginny's Supperclub (downstairs), so much to explore!
Allegedly Waffles is a original Belgian dish. Harlem was associated as an African-American neighborhood in 1904. Most of the African-American southern migrants who arrived, in order of size, during the Great Migration during the 1910s, 1920s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s were Virginians, South Carolinians, Georgians, North Carolinians, Floridians.
I'm from Hong Kong and I've been told many years ago that Harlem is dangerous to visit. I can't believe it's this beautiful. Definitely going there and trying those chicken and waffles on my next trip!
Awesome !!!
It's safer since the white man moved in!
Harlem has always been Beautiful always !! A lot of white people are just fascinated that black people have style ,and eat great in the neighborhood
ty mck, you are ignorant. Your comment is an insult to this great video prepared with love by two friends.
Back in the day like 20+ years ago yeah but now it’s ok
Thank you for a great tour of the great sites in Harlem! I love visiting there when in NYC. Evan is a wealth of knowledge about Harlem. Thanks again for sharing. Al
Thanks !!
Best video on exploring Harlem that I've seen.👌🏽👍🏽🙌🏽😊
Yes Amy Ruth's us the place. Been eating there everytime I visit NYC. 3 to 4 times a year. I lived around the corner in 116th and 7th in a Brownstone for 3 weeks.
Yes, i'm a big fan now.
Thanks for taking me down memory lane!! No place like home!! Love your videos!!❤️
Just saw this video because I came to Harlem for some business, stopped by Amy Ruth's to try the chicken and Waffles! Amazing thanks for the recommendation.
That was such an amazing meal!! One of the best I've ever had in NY!
;)
Is that cornbread I see? Wow, that food looked so amazing that I nearly licked the screen!
Hahahahha. I don't blame you.
Staying in Harlem on our trip to NYC in June...would love to run into Evan! Thanks for your videos...they are a huge help! Great work..keep it up!
Moving to Harlem because of I’ll be attending CCNY and I thought I wouldn’t have that much to do but now I do!
Evan is an amazing guide. So much history and culture in Harlem. My fave is Strivers Row
Thanks for this. Really learned a lot about Harlem. Need to visit more often - I'm not far at all. Looking forward to future videos!
Thanks Evan for the wonderful informational tour. I will definately be dining at Amy Ruth's. What awesome vibes and the food looks mouth watering. Grant's tomb is actually quite interesting, as his younger years were lived not too far from me in Galena, Il, (I'm from Chicago). The art and rich history of the area makes for a memorable day trip. Thanks for posting.
Evan is an excellent tour guide
Very impressed with your channel! I'm going to have to catch up on your previous videos. Harlem is an area I haven't explored yet, so definitely will visit on my next trip!
1:46 Heyyy #TeamAdriana! Congrats on your wedding. 😊👍
Erik Ludwig thaaanks!!
Thanks for taking me home! Lots of memories in this terrific video. From the first couple of frames standing on the 125th St. #1 train uptown side platform with where I grew up in the background (Manhattanville Houses) as the #1 train was my line, and the iconic 125th St. stop was my station.
I saw lots of familiar scenes and places. I’ve enjoyed Amy Ruth’s, I lived one block west of the GORGEOUS Strivers’ Row on 138th St. in a Brownstone from 1983-1987 before moving out of NYC thirty-two years ago, so it’s nice to see my old stomping grounds with you, your excellent guide Evan and the lovely #TeamAdriana. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, enjoyed it.
That chicken and waffles looks 💯
Evan seems like such a cool guy. I smiled for the whole video. What a treat to watch.
Mush respect for the itinerary. I’m moving up in August and because of your channel I have found endless opportunities to explore. Thanks man
Love the videos. Amy Ruth's looks awesome. I'm coming up to NYC from Kentucky for a week in May - we're staying in Brooklyn, right next to McCarren Park. I can't wait to experience the city as an adult and your videos are helping so much!
Evan is great! Hope to see him more often in your future videos.
Omg this video is amazing! One of my top videos of yours...
Good video! I'm from Harlem born and raised; specifically Spanish Harlem but it has great history, good food, and good place to find the culture of the two.
Been Wondering about Soul food in NYC !!! Thanks 🙏🏾
Very cool to see Evan's part of town. Grant's Tomb looks so interesting.
loved this video and loved your guide
I was conceived across from Amy Ruth's. At which was once known as the "Kelly Hotel" from which I was also named. 🥰🥰🥰 I miss NY. Will be the next month.
Hey! Great video agaim!!! I lived in Harlem for two years and it was excellent, watching the video I could remember the countless times I walked through all those streets, is a wonderfull neighborhood, and there are many more places to eat and have a few drinks like the famous Harlem Shakes or Harlem Tavern. I miss Harlem so much but my room was sooooo small and I had to move :(
dude. I freaking love you. just found this channel. im hooked bro! much love from dallas!
Keep up the great content! Next time I'm in nyc ill make sure to hit up Harlem
Evan is great! Let's see more of him! Great job on the cancer free! Love your channel brother!
Definitely I want to have this soul foods experience one day . Cheers from Brazil
Nice video!! That food looked soooooo good!!
Love your videos I'm visiting New York in April going to check out a couple of places you featured on your channel
Thanks !
Great video! Never been to Harlem but I will definitely go there when I visit NYC again. Evan was a delightful tour guide. I would love to see him in other videos too. Thanks from Bill in Columbus, Ohio.
Really enjoyed this Harlem tour, Evan is a great guide, I never knew about Grand Tomb, I'll have to check it out, the food at Amy's looks amazing, really good vibes
Gracias Manny !!
Thank you for all the rich black history and culture in this video!!!! Loved the host 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Thanks for tipping me off about this video. Grant's tomb looks really impressive. Not a long stop, but worth going
Evan showing us the good stuff with Jon!!
i love your new york videos. they are so refreshing in the sea of all other nyc videos. i can't wait to head back there soon
Thanks. Curious what makes them refreshing?
Your vid’s are the absolute best man
Schomburg is part of Puerto Rico’s, specifically Loíza’s, history. ♥️ Love this video and now that I move to NY I will definitely visit Harlem and that place for the chicken and waffles. 🥰
Salute the Honorable Teacher Arturo Alphonso Schomburg May He Continue to Rest In Peace and Power
AWESOME!I'D LOVE TO THOROUGHLY EXPLORE HARLEM AND VISIT EVERY ONE OF THOSE SPOTS.I'D ALSO LOVE TO TRY SOME OF THAT GOOD FOOD.
My Neighborhood!! I was waiting for this video! Great Video🙏🏼
:) Thanks
I’ve worked on 125th near the State Building for 2 years and have to say, I love Harlem! It’s one of my favorite parts of the city. The “96th St and lower” attitude and is a resume of the “great divide” which continues today. Anyway, explore the outer Burroughs, NY is amazing! Don’t be a racist snob, people who built and run the city have amazing food, culture and history that you’re missing out on if you stay in a 100 block radius.
O Just loved the AMY RUTH' S RESTAURANT ! Cheers from Brazil ! Thanks for sharing that with us !
Dang some nice warm soul food would be perfect on a winter day or any day lol
Nice one dude
Excellent coveraged I watched with my son, and we enjoyed immensely as we plan to visit Harlem in the very near future. We loved you all authencity! Thanks so much!
Ah what a hottie
Looks like an awesome day!
Great video man, definitely gotta get some great soul food next time I stop in NYC!
For sure !!
I'm moving to NYC in March 2020 and your channel has already inspired me and provided a wealth of information! I will be watching taking notes until I move! I'm a new suscriber!
Are you here already?
Lol
Great video and tour of Harlem! Digging these neighborhood guides
Yeah, they're tough to make b.c i need just the right people..
Here Be Barr For sure. You certainly picked the right person for this one!
Loved this! Thanks for busting myths and helping to combat racism and intolerance.
This was cool. The bus I took to the airport went through Harlem, so I got a bit of a driving tour and liked what I saw!
Thanks I’m watching your video after the gym !
Great showing of Harlem. I watched it twice! Thanks for the educational history lesson too! Now, I’m gunna go have some chicken and waffles! Yum!!! 👍🏼♥️
Amy Ruth’s is my favorite restaurant and they are open almost 24 hours on the weekend I use to eat it all the time the Gabrielle Union aka smothered pork chops is my favorite
Like that you started off on the 125th 1 train platform - so cool how it comes out for one stop
Hhahah yep.
Always New York Tour, Harlem
As a guy who lives in 99 st East side, Evan was spot on about people in Yorkville or below seeing anything above 96 street as dangerous. Fun fact: Barack Obama used to live on 94 st between 1st & 2nd ave while going to Columbia University in the 80’s & he stated the same thing in the first page of his book “Dreams from my Father”, about an invisible border before & after 96 st people choose not to cross. As a native New Yorker for 25 years you’ll really exceeding my expectations in your New York intelligence Here Bar Barr, would start donating to your Patrons for more of these videos, I’m learning soo much, thank you!
Love this!!
Love it. love it! Great video. More of this.
For sure !
I just went to Harlem last week. Very cool was right there in front of Sylvia's , the hospital, and The Schomberg Center.
I love Harlem and its history. 🙏
here be barr is the my favourite you tube channel
This is exactly what I was looking for
Coollllllllll!!!!!! This has been +nice too!!!!!! Congratsss......
I grow up in NY, love Harlem. You have to keep going up to explore Washington heights. Thanks for sharing.
Everything especially Grant’s tomb
I have been to Sylvia’s some 30 years ago. That chicken and waffles got me 🤔 thinkin it’s time
to return 😋
How Harlem has changed since the mid to late 70s. I love the art work and Striver's Row; and of course some real soul food. Great job Evan great video guys.
Thanks John
I probably liked this episode the most!
I love you new york city bro
