EAT: SHRIMP AND GRITS IN HARLEM
Harlem Bespoke: A lot of other soul food restaurants in the neighborhood receive exponentially more press than BLVD Bistro at 116th and Frederick Douglass Boulevard but most folks in the neighborhood know that this is the place to splurge on good eats. Seats are filled to capacity indoors even before noon on weekends because early birds want a great seat for classics like the fantastic Shrimp and Grits. Jumbo shrimp, Bacon, cheese with just a hit of Jalapeno (for those who dare) top off exceptionally creamy grits that are a decadent treat. BLVD started out in a tiny brownstone storefront several years ago that had lines out the door but now this newer location seats more and so is a better fit for the in-demand eatery.
