Join our DEI team as we explore the Africa Byzanium, Before Yesterday We Could Fly: An Afrofuturist Period Room, The African Origin of Civilization, Look Again: European Paintings 1300–1800 exhibits and the MET’s new acquisition of the Bélizaire and the Frey Children painting. Tickets are courtesy of ALANYC. Students from nearby Columbia University, uptown church ladies, savvy New Yorkers, and VIPs (like former President Clinton) all feel at home in this inexpensive, soul-food restaurant. The owner, the Caterer and former Wilhemina model, Norma Jean Darden, serves comfort food based on family recipes from Spoonbread and Strawberry Wine, the best-selling cookbook she wrote with her sister, Carole. The bright and cozy dining room with its red and white checkerboard tile floor and ruffled strawberry curtains is modeled after their mother, Miss Mamie Jean Sampson Darden's, Alabama kitchen. |
