Crispy fried seafood, jerk wings, johnny cakes, and rum punch
"Lolo’s is a popular spot for seafood in Harlem. When you visit their downtown location at Market 57, stick to signature dishes: Basically, if it’s seafood and it’s fried, you’re going to like it. The fish and chips are extremely crispy and impossibly flaky, and the fried shrimp basket is a good alternative. Lolo also makes great jerk wings, their coconut shrimp spring rolls are like fair food in the best possible way, and the johnny cakes are something anyone with a sweet tooth should try at least once." - carina finn koeppicus
"In addition to their typical menu of seafood, Lolo’s in Harlem has a bunch of changing specials available for pick-up and delivery. They post all of their updates on their Instagram page here." - hannah albertine
"Eating in Lolo’s backyard feels like being at the beach, minus the ocean. There are picnic tables, nautical decorations, and lots of peel-and-eat shrimp to get all over your paper bib. This fun spot serves a combination of Caribbean and New England-style seafood, which means you can order things like jerk chicken, johnny cakes, and steampot combinations. We’d suggest supplementing any meal here with rum punch during their daily Happy Hour (which runs between 4 and 6pm every day). In case you need any other incentive to support this restaurant, they’re also giving back to the Harlem community by delivering hundreds of hot meals to essential workers and residents in need." - hannah albertine
"If you live within walking distance of Lolo’s Seafood Shack on 116th Street in Harlem, you can stop by and pick up some peel-and-eat shrimp or crab dip with plantain chips. They have a special right now called “Lolo’s Lobster Box” that comes with a lobster roll on a johnny cake with corn and your choice of durty rice, garlic fries." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
