It's Wakanda Forever at Harlem Shake! The Brooklyn location just released its New menu inspired by the latest Black Panther movie, and the food is 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!! We sent one of our "senior correspondents" Sonya Maggett out to sample it ... and check what she reports back! 👆 The fries and PerPeri sauce did it for me. I'll be heading over there soon! Harlem Shake is located at 119 5th Avenue in Park Slope. #harlemshake #wakandaforever

Last night was a blast at the Brooklyn Music Conservatory's House Party celebrating 125 years of existence!!! The organization took over a block of 7th Avenue in Park Slope to put on an indoor/outdoor party that had the entire block rocking with music, food and fun! A walk inside of the organization's massive mansion offered door floors of activities. Each of the many rooms in the house featured either musicians, cocktails, food, boozy desserts, multimedia entertainment or just a place to hang out and commune! Talk about a house party! The music was good for the soul. Stay tuned I to BK Reader (sign up for our daily newsletter) to catch the recap and photos of this epic party. Definitely one for the books! Yes, BK! #bkcm #bkconservatory #houseparty2

Happy Monday, BK Readers! This is definitely not a NY City rats. They eat food poisoning as appetizers and then keep it moving. 🥹😩😝

Happy Friday, BK Readers! On this episode of "Healthy BKLYN," we loved talking to Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Sara Weber, who emphasized the importance of respecting one another's differences, especially during this time. Everyone has a different idea of "risk assessment" and we must find ways to respect everyone's individual comfort levels, while maintaining our own! She says "Being 'okay' is good for the immune system!" so find ways to stay active, joyful, and positive!

Happy Friday BK Readers! When they say cockroaches would be the only survivors of a nuclear explosion, they were talking about New York City roaches, no doubt. A human would break their neck trying to do this. Any other insect, animal or species couldn't do this. Think about it. #thingsthatmakeyougohmm 🤔🤔🤔

Okay, Flatbush, we see you! And it don't stop... watch until the end. 🤦🏽‍♀️🥹🤣 #Repost @whatisnewyork ・・・ Flatbush Ave out here looking like A1A #whatisnewyork (@jon_brown)

Farm to Soul! Love the concept! #Repost @saltandsavor ・・・ Soul food in the heart of Crown Heights! Check out @cornbreadsoul This Black woman-owned franchise is bringing farm to table to soul food and they’ve landed in Brooookkkllynnn! I was invited for a complimentary meal and had the fried chicken with collard greens, Mac n cheese, candied yams, cornbread and peach cobbler! Everything slapppsss. The chicken was well seasoned and crispy. The Mac n cheese got me in a chokehold. It’s so cheesy and flavorful. The yams gave me warm cinnamon feels and that lemonade had me asking for seconds! You can order to go but they have sit down seating as a fast-casual restaurant. I mean, dats if ya’ll tired of eating from the same ole Popeyes or KFC or the late night grease smelling chicken spot? 😝 °

A message from our own @bennycruz I think we all have a rather "complicated" relationship with this city. But we love it. Yes, it is trashy, expensive, crowded and sometimes rude... But it also challenges us and is giving! It has made us hearty, resilient, talented, sharp and resourceful. And for this, we are thankful! I ❤️NY!
