Top Soul Food Restaurants in New York City

3.Miss Maude’s (www.missmaudesmarket.com) is probably the best unknown Soul-Food restaurant in all of New York City. Their southern food and Harlem flavor are well respected, and their inexpensive prices are even more appreciated by its customers. Named after the owner’s Aunt, Miss Maude’s has a homey feeling and serves home-sized portions, too. Heaping plates of yams, macaroni & cheese, and collard greens are delivered to your seat, and they are all preceded by a big basket of corn bread. But don’t get full off that (as most do), because if you do, you will miss out on the best fried chicken in


Manhattan ! They also have a magnificent Short Ribs platter. And yes, the meat falls right off the bone! All and all, you will love just about anything on the Miss Maudes’ menu. From fish to pork chops, Miss Maude’s does it all, and continues to do it right! How it still remains under the radar, I don’t know.
