Here are all of the restaurants for Savor the Season Uptown! Restaurants were selected from East, Central and West Harlem. Fine dining can be found in Northern Manhattan. And most of the restaurants use seasonal produce that Harvest Home is supplying for the benefit. We want everyone to come uptown to enjoy this fall.

The 5 and Diamond Restaurant offers refined contemporary American fare and genuine Harlem hospitality. Chef David Martinez prepares food with passion – combining fresh seasonal ingredients and bold flavors with a refined presentation. He is committed to local, organic produce and is inspired by his culinary experience here and in Europe.
Jin Ramen
Jin is the Japanese pronunciation of the character 仁. It means “benevolence” and finds its root in Confucian ideals. The character Jin consists of two elements. The left side represents a human being and the right side represents the numeral two. Jin is said to depict the way two people should treat one another. We, the founding partners, chose Jin as our ramen bar’s name not only out of an enthusiasm for ramen, but also from a desire to grow a business that has a positive impact on the community.
Le Monde
Le Monde celebrates the cuisine of the Loire Valley. Known as the “Garden of France,” the Loire is home to some of the best-loved French dishes such as Coq Au Vin and Potato, Goat cheese and Caramelized Onion Tart. Sample some of the great Loire wines including Charles Jouget Chinon or Daniel Chatard Sauvignon Blanc. Like the river Loire, the region runs through the heart of French life, and Le Monde celebrates the convivial bourgeois lifestyle with its warm atmosphere, welcoming service and delicious food.
Le Monde has been certified Green by the Green Business Bureau. This certification includes the implementation of green business practices and demonstrates our continued support for a more environmentally conscious restaurant industry.
Levain Harlem
Levain is a cozy neighborhood bakery where locals are greeted by name. A steady stream of loyal regulars stands side by side with tourists, eager to sample the legendary baked goods.
From an inventive array of rustic breads to the world-famous six-ounce chocolate chip walnut cookie, everything is baked on-site, fresh every day from the finest natural ingredients. What doesn’t sell that day goes to help feed the hungry-a mission that has been solidly in place since the beginning. The bakery was founded in 1994 by friends Connie McDonald and Pam Weekes.
Melba’s
In 2005, Melba’s Restaurant opened to rave reviews with Time Out Magazine calling it, “…the best in Harlem.” This cozy yet elegant restaurant features a menu of American comfort food such as wine braised short ribs over cheddar grits and Melba’s famous southern fried chicken and eggnog waffles, the winning dish featured on the food network’s throw down with Bobby Flay.
Melba’s is a Zagat-rated restaurant in the heart of a revitalized Harlem community. Designed by Harry Schnaper with its 111-year old chandeliers, black subway tile, polished marble bar and rustic church pews, no other uptown restaurant is a better symbol of new Harlem than Melba’s.
Mobay Catering
Mobay offers a fusion of Caribbean, Cajun, Asian, and Southern cuisine. Filling the void of the missing barbeque “St. Louis Style, Dry Rubbed Slow Smoked with Mesquite Barbecue for 10 hours, no sauce-please, Barbecue” that’s missing in the Harlem area.
Red Rooster
Our menu reflects the roots of Harlem’s diverse population as well as Chef Marcus Samuelsson’s own rich background, while celebrating local farmers and artisanal purveyors. Red Rooster Harlem features a lively bar and dining room, and a front window offering a to-go menu of drinks and baked goods. From the colors used throughout our restaurant to the art hanging on its walls, Red Rooster is designed to be a place where people from near and far come to celebrate food, music, history, culture and art.
Tonnie’s Minis
Tonnie creates mini cupcakes as well as rich, moist carrot cake with a creamy-delicious cream cheese icing. A recipe originally created by his mother, Tonnie spruced it up and it became his signature dessert. To this day, Tonnie is the ONLY one who prepares the carrot cakes so that the recipe remains a secret.
