Black-Owned Restaurant #3: BISTRO



Today was the first day I thought to myself why am I doing this? Why spend the money? Why would I want to have to repeat myself constantly? Why would I force myself not to eat anything until I am under the roof of a Black-owned business?




Simply put: I am investing in Demetrius. Yes, I am spending money. Yes, I am “starving” myself. Yes, I want my coffee from Starbucks. However, immersing myself into my culture, disciplining my mind and body, and staying committed to my ultimate cause, which is to fall in love with my people, but more so, myself, is more important to me and I refuse to stop what I have started.




Thank you, to the staff at Bistro for reminding me of that today. I enjoyed eating at a Black-owned restaurant, for the first time, in Harlem. Oh, and before I forget, Sabrina, you are the real MVP!
