Mannas Malcolm X Boulevard, New York

Since 1984, the chefs at Manna's have been serving up soul-food classics, including crispy fried chicken, gravy-drenched meatloaf, rib-sticking sides like candied yams, and peach cobbler for dessert. And throughout the years, their culinary influences have grown; now, they also whip up island favorites such as jerk pork and West African–style chicken and rice.
