hey there, ryan. i'm sure there are. oh the top of my head, i know of a few soul food/southern places. my girlfriend worked at one for a few years, until just recently--called amy ruth's. it's in harlem. my parents and i went there when she was still working--awesome sweet tea, good "heart healthy" fried food and potatoes, etc.
