All of the good hole in the wall soulfood spots rarely exist anymore especially in NYC.

... for example the Rib Shack in Queens NY used to be a staple of dependable & consistent food until they were recently sold & now they're serving yams out of a can . Everything outside of the beef shortribs tasted different & just like every soulfood spot in NYC they've downsized the portions.


I know "cook your own food brehs" but when you're constantly on the run sometimes you just can't find the time to prep.

Is this because of the white folks moving in? Or is it COVID?

Oh shyt, theres Coli brehs who go to BBQ Rib Shack on Linden Blvd!? I eat there too I've been eating from there since I was a kid, I think it used to owned by some breh named Poor Freddie.


Most of the soul food restaurants in NYC are in Harlem or Brooklyn specifically in and around Bed Stuy.

It's gotta be covid.

The next wave of gentrification in nyc probably won't happen again until covid dies down.
