Doris was a walking encyclopedia plus a Harlem native which was a major bonus, she knew everything about what had been where, when and who. She was so personable and articulate. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed her. The meal was great, my fav was the collard greens. And we also had a Mo’s hot dog with the works. Delicious! (It was on my list, Mo is featured in a Netflix documentary NYC Street Food.)
