Harlem’s legendary “Queen of Soul Food” Sylvia Woods, whose 50-year-old restaurant drew dignitaries and ordinary folk from all over the world to taste her fried chicken, died Thursday at 86.

Her timing was as impeccable as her pie: she died just as Mayor Bloomberg was paying tribute to the 50th anniversary of Sylvia’s at a gala reception at Gracie Mansion.

Chuck Berry the epitome of Chocolate City passes as the city's demographics change. Now an icon of Harlem passes as the same thing happens in this neighborhood.

Rest in Peace...

Went there last summer. Had the fried chicken, macaroni & garlic mashed potatoes. Absolutely

At least she got to live a long & full life man.

I was telling a coworker how I was gonna grab a beef patty from the Golden Crust kiosk in Grand Central and she said Golden Crust fell off.

Then she said Sylvia's fell off too.

Are there any good soul food spots/Caribbean food spots left in NYC?

(Obviously not counting my Dominican food spots)
