For more than 60 years, Sylvia’s Restaurant has been serving up more than just food. We’ve been serving love, legacy, and Harlem hospitality. When Sylvia Woods opened her restaurant on Lenox Avenue in 1962, she couldn’t have imagined that her fried chicken and collard greens would draw guests from all over the world. What started with a handful of tables and a whole lot of heart quickly became the heartbeat of Harlem - a gathering place for families, friends, leaders, and legends.
