Blogger Genese Jamilah is definitely something, not only is her blog freaking awesome and filled with great information – the “I Don’t Do Clubs” blogger has created Black-Owned Restaurant Month NYC/Sept 2015.

Starting Wednesday, September 9th NYC can get their eats on by dining at Black-owned restaurants in New York City and Brooklyn. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays until September 30th, the participating restaurants will be offering a three-course prix fixe custom dinner menu for just $35.00. This is such a fabulous idea because I’m a firm believer in supporting businesses in our community and what better way to do it by indulging in some tasty, delicious and yummy foods.

As a long-time fan and participant of the original Restaurant Week and Caribbean Restaurant Week, I believe this brings awareness to the many Black-owned restaurants located in Brooklyn and it’s outer boroughs.

The list of participating restaurants is extensive and there’s something for everyone. If you don’t want to take a trip to NYC – Brooklyn’s offering is quite something on its own – most of which are favorites of mine (Yeah I’m a bit of foodie :)). Shane’s is on my list for Wednesday since I’ve never been there. I must say I am a bit disappointed that there weren’t more participation – we have so many GREAT Black-Owned Restaurants in Brooklyn.

Keep up the good work Genese and thank you for doing this for us.

Brooklyn and Beyond lets make Black Owned-Restaurant Month such a success that next year we’ll have many more participants which means more great food for us ;). Below is the list of participating restaurants:

I have been in love with New York City for over three decades. I enjoy living a hyper-local Lifestyle and have such deep love for the Rich History of this City I call home. Uncovering the vibrant culture, hidden gems, and diverse communities that define Brooklyn and its surrounding Boroughs brings me much joy. And that is why I curate authentic experiences and insider recommendations, sharing valuable insights to help locals and visitors explore the heart and soul of New York City.
