It’s been a minute since your resident dating guinea pig has checked in so I had to bless you with the final installment of my summer long journey.

When I’m not busy drinking Jolly Rancher soda, I’m watching The Food Network. About a month ago I came across a show on Saturday morning and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Visit any Cineplex and if you’re lucky to see a Black film on the bill, it may not be the best representation of people of color…Luckily, there’s a woman behind a “nation” that wants to give viewers a different perspective.

The hustle and bustle of Fulton Street can seemingly make any spot, no matter how hot, damn near invisible to passersby. But Joloff stands out above the rest. Whether you’re there to chow down, unwind after work or just hear some good music, Joloff’s got you covered.
