If the actual menu of the Harlem soul food restaurant has photos of Sharpton, Floyd Flake, Ashford & Simpson, Farrakhan and Bill and Hillary, then you know it is the real deal. Amy Ruth’s on West 116th is a friendly, unpretentious exploration into the hardcore delicacies of southern-style cuisine. Perhaps the best collared greens or candied yams I’ve ever had. So close to the 2 and 3 train. Lemme know if you wanna go up there some time. (Note: the menu has Kool-Aid of the Day!)
