outside of Society |
Warm,
soothing, and relaxed, Society (2104 Frederick Douglas
Boulevard, Harlem) stepped into a niche not held by
many cafes in Harlem. Karl Franz Williams named the
restaurant Society because as he put it, "It's
about people coming together."
Walking up to Society, the first thing I noticed was
the huge window front welcoming all to take a look.
On the evening I stopped by, every table was candle
lit. As I walked in the door I detected a cozy atmosphere
and peaceful music. Everything on my mind sort of went
to the back burner. |

The
restaurant is one big room, the kitchen is set off
to the back and the front is quite accommodating with
community tables, tables for two, and cushioned seating
along the front of the cafe.

The
wait staff was friendly and sociable. The young woman
I spoke to mentioned that she liked working there because
of the crowd and because it was right near her home.
Williams explained his demographic as "everyone".
Boasting a menu full of variety, Society has everything
from coffee to Belgian waffles, something even Starbucks
can't brag about. A few other interesting items include,
fondue, quiche, omelets, and gazpacho. During my visit
I sampled the grilled chicken Panini and some apple
cider, as well as Society's fresh squeezed carrot juice.
It was all quite delicious and tasted very fresh. The
meal cost $11.00

I found a few things a bit pricey for my still in
High School and living off my mother budget but from
what I tasted they're worth the extra change. That
said don't hesitate to try out this new addition to
the growing variety of Harlem businesses started by
a member of the community.
