    I don't often say this, but I actually got teary eyed eating the collard greens at Sylvia's. It reminded me of my mom's...

    As a kid, I heard the food wasn't good. As an adult, I didn't like the food. My cousin and his fiancé came to Harlem for the first time wanting to eat there and they were not pleased with the food.

    If you need a little comfort food, head over to Sylvia's for some authentic, lip-smacking Southern soul food.

    Gospel brunch is a nice experience; the singing is entertaining. Food is overrated -- southern fried chicken is dry.

    If forced to choose one meal to eat for the rest of my life, it might be Sylvia's Harlem-style waffles & fried chicken. Crazygood.
