New York City is full of endless mouthwatering restaurants, many of which are Black-owned. Patronizing these Black-owned businesses can help offset the unique challenges Black business owners face, bridge the racial wage gap, and reinvest in local communities.

This list was compiled using spreadsheets that have been circulating across NYC social media like this one and this one. This isn’t all-encompassing of the city yet, and we will be continuing to add to it.

The app EatOkra also helps you find Black-owned restaurants near you with an interactive map feature.

So, here are 80 Black-owned restaurants you can support in NYC right now, organized by borough and neighborhood!

We also love following Black-Owned Brooklyn to see what new Black-owned businesses are popping up in the borough, like NYC’s first vinyl record craft beer bar.

In addition, Brooklyn-based female entrepreneur Mandy Bowman created an app, titled “The Official Black Wall Street App,” that connects users to Black-owned and operated businesses in their area.
