with a sophisticated take on Southern comfort food. Sandwiches cost from $15-17,

in a jar ($12).

So famous that the late Sylvia has her own package food line, this is Harlem's premier
soul-food landmark. While the BBQ ribs ($17.95) are exceptional and the candied yams
are justly celebrated,
Sylvia's
is a bit of a tourist trap - avoid Sundays when tour groups
arrive for the Gospel brunch.
