Are whites welcomed at restaurants in ethnic neighborhoods (Holbrook, Lawrence: to live in, bars)

[mathjak107]

Well you are hearing about it now.

Ethnic means non white???

Oi Vey!

Typically you don't feel unwelcome in food services. The only time I ever felt uncomfortable was when I went into a middle-Eastern owned deli on Sheepshead Bay Road and then some good ol 300 pound American jacka** walks in and starts to yell how Russians are pieces of sh*t.

we went to the DOOR in jamaica for the best jamaican food around.

again we looked like two light bulbs but couldn't care less.

the big difference compared to flushing is they want your business and speak english.

in a few weeks we are doing a harlem photoshoot and hope to hit a few places up there.

We must stand out like two light bulbs but we don't care. The food is awesome .

I used to work for an electrical supply company down the block. Most of the locals just thought i was a cop since the precinct was next door .

In true ironic nyc fashion the Mannas were actually started and are still owned by an Asian woman. I go pretty frequently to the one by 126th and fred Douglas in Harlem and I have seen her there a couple of times.

YES , I knew that and thought it so ironic they learned to make some of the best soul food around.

they are also one of the most successful with a few places around the city.
