Best Senegalese African food in the city. Traditional, large portions and great price. Try the Joloff rice with onion sauce and the Chicken or Beef Dibi. You will NOT be disappointed. Pinky swear.

Drinks & Nightlife
Center of Harlem. It's a bar, restaurant, lounge. Often live jazz bands throughout the week. Also, has a nightclub on the bottom level called Ginny's Supper Club. Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings are the best. Food is alright, drinks better. Super pricey but a great hang and gives you a real Harlem experience.
