M&G Diner Soul Food 1964 Posters and Art Prints

Opening their doors in 1964, Harlem’s M&G Diner was one of the last authentic soul food restaurants in New York City. The soul food cuisine was totally genuine and not reconstructed as modern times seem to do. The fried chicken was some of the best in town, and the short rib sandwich nothing short of a braised meat experience. They had an old jukebox that had an amazing selection of gospel, soul, blues and jazz records, and the restaurant itself hadn't changed in the nearly 45 years they were open. Sadly, in 2008 the owners closed down for a short hiatus, but mysteriously never returned. Today, the spectacular '60s era facade is long gone and sadly, boring retail store occupies the space, selling urban style clothing.
