FieldTrip in Harlem is a vibrant counter-serve spot where you can savor delicious, globally-inspired rice bowls made with heirloom grains in a cool, minimalist setting.
"This Harlem spot specializes in rice bowls, which will be easy to carry considering you may need to cover a few of Central Park’s 843 acres to find a suitable place to sit. Each one, with grains ranging from jollof basmati rice to China black pineapple fried rice, is filling and costs around $15. We always like to add toppings like shrimp and scallops or BBQ brisket. Place your order on their website, or by calling 917-639-3919." - hannah albertine

"Though JJ Johnson’s Fieldtrip now has new locations, yet the original, like the chef himself, calls Harlem home. True to Johnson’s reverence for global flavors, his restaurant takes diners on a field trip through cultures by way of rice. Indulge in bowls inspired by cultures across the world, like Carolina Gold fried rice paired with hand-battered chicken breakfast, wok-cooked veggies, and a devilishly sticky BBQ sauce, or the chef crispy fish bowl, which features cornmeal crusted fish engulfed in a medley aromatic tartar sauce, wok veggies, and red onions, served over a bed of fluffy cilantro lime rice. His dragon fruit rice crispy treat — a bright pink block of childlike sugary goodness — serves as a pleasant reminder that rice isn’t just for dinner, and indeed is central to all of our foodways." - Kayla Stewart, Eater Staff
"“Few people have ever spoken as poetically and radically about the black experience in America as Toni Morrison. The Nobel Prize- winning storyteller published her first book in 1970, while occupying her position as the first black woman editor in fiction at Random House, but she didn’t stop there. As this documentary gets across, her influence on the world extends well into the 20th century and will continue to change lives for generations. Before her passing in 2019, she helped create this documentary about her life, in which she narrates her own story, including juicy details about her work with activist Angela Davis during the civil rights movement of the 1960s.” -ND We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"FieldTrip is open for pick-up and delivery, but they’re also delivering rice bowls to hospitals and women’s and children’s shelters in the Harlem area. For every $8 donated to their campaign, Fieldtrip will match $2. You can see more info here." - hannah albertine
