Jaro G4: Get the Afrotrip (w/ Brazillian Rum) and come chill out to the Reggae and (live)Jazz tunes on a Sunday night. Great for going to work the next day.....
Bervely Victorin: diverse crowd, great mix of african music, 90's hip hop and some reggae. Saturdays after 1am is a good look. Cash bar only.
TheMobileBroker: Saturday nights here are a hit! Lengendary rock & roll decor, eclectic live reggae bands, full cash bar!
Bollare: Cozy Caribbean style diner, blaring a funky mix of ska, and reggae, and serving up Jamaician Jerk-seasoned staples. Try the corn! —Tanya
Michael Morgan: Great vibe and amazing Food. There is a DJ at all times playing a selection of reggae music. It is a bit expensive, but well worth it. Try the Jerk Chicken and Plantains.
Elevine Berge: My new favourite place - Fresh green juices, reggae, lovely staff, grilled fish salads, sweet plantains...what's not to love!? 🌼🍂🌵🍹🍏🍍🌴

Compass: Low-key, but the music never disappoints: stop by Shrine to see some of the best Afro-beat, calypso, and reggae bands in New York.
Marc P.: Nice spot! Try the hot wings
swan: casual chill vibe, very nice and welcoming people, no cover charge. definitely worth checking out for something different
Akiko Bombita: Super cute and lots of work was put into remodeling the space. Limited food menu for now. Great place for studying/quiet convo and they play reggae! ♡
A L E X: Super cute cafe, situated below grade away from the bustle of 145 st. Cozy up with City College students and teachers, get work done with free wifi. Have a chai tea. They accept CUPS.app too!
Harlem Ambassador: Brightly lit below street level, means avoiding that 145 st foot traffic. A cafe that serves locally purchased juices & such add heft to this culinary deprived area. Beer & wine! Hours don't hold here

Dee Phunk: One of NYC's longest running dance parties, The Freedom Party, calls LPR home every Fri. Classic hip-hop, soul, reggae, house & more. Mention the RARE FORM GUESTLIST to the cashier for reduced prices.
Sarah Colvin: Fun fun fun. I love the space. I love the multi-media aspects of it. I love the vibe. Excellent programming, fantastic acoustics. If you're looking for a fun experience, look no further! Try it out!
Concert Ticket Agency: This has that vibe of a classic New York dance club. Great place to see a live concert as well. Clean bathrooms but the attendants can be pushy about tipping. Dress in layers...can get hot on floor!

Trinity McKenzie: A new event called Catch-ah-Fiya Wednesday's on select nights featuring Reggae, Caribbean, R&B/Soul music and it's fantastic. Next one November 16, 2011. Free for ladies & reduced for men until 11:30.
Rachel Levi: bingo night on Mondays is the best! Read more.
The Corcoran Group: Home not only to amazing spoken word performances, but sexy Burlesque and hilarious Bingo. The real poetry is in the men’s room – try not to add you own.

Candy Soto: Sundays! Reggae night at 7:30 pm lots of fun :)
Mario Milovanovik: Everything that you can possibly imagine. Food, people, music. Awesome
Harlem Ambassador: Lots of planning went into the creation of this locale that has changed it's name to appease the neighboring Lenox Lounge. which will relocate nearby. The café draws crowds and nights run late.
