Amy Ruth’s – Southern/Soul Cuisine - A Taste of The South Up North
I made the mistake of taking my Mom (who is Southern through and through) to a Soul Food Restaurant in Harlem that was not that great... I have never seen such disappointment in her face. But when I took her to Amy Ruth's I was redeemed. She still refers the rest of our family and friends to come here when they come to New York.
