The Cecil, on West 118th Street, is New York Citys first Afro-Asian-American brasserie.

Inspired by the travels, exploration and study of the African Diaspora of noted restaurateur and chef Alexander Smalls, The Cecil offers a global adventure in tastes and flavors as diverse and dynamic as the community in which the restaurant resides. Its goal is to connect communities through food, comfort and hospitality. See www.thececilharlem.com for more.
