New York, NY

Public sourceBlack-owned · Public sourceFamily-owned · Public source

BLVD Bistro is an American soul food restaurant on Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem, run by husband and wife team Carlos and Markisha Swepson.

Breakfast and brunch are the draw: fish and grits, pancakes with crisp edges, and a bar list built around the house Momma's Honey Pot, a bourbon, honey syrup and citrus cocktail. Gospel plays through the weekend service.

The restaurant runs full lunch and dinner service through the week and takes both reservations and online orders.
