Vibes Bar and Restaurant is known for this soul food combination, a delicacy that was inspired by southern African Americans in the 19th century. Chicken and waffles, which was also considered a traditional dish from the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, even emerged in New York City during the 1930s. As the Harlem Renaissance boomed, this unique mixture was served in Harlem hotspots like Dickie Wells’ Jazz Nightclub, Tillie’s Chicken Shack and the Wells Supper Club. Today, diners can partake in a platter of well-seasoned fried chicken and fl uffy Belgium waffl es at Vibes Bar and Restaurant in Jamaica. Vibes offers a vast array of the famous combo, such as their signature red velvet waffl es & chicken ($9). The waffl es are soft, sweet, sprinkled with powdered sugar and topped with whipped cream. It creates the ideal contrast, since your chicken is made crispy and fl avorful. The buttermilk waffl es & chicken ($8) is a classic dish that allows diners to add four boneless breasts and wings for $1 more. Pour maple syrup on the waffl es to get your sugar rush. In addition to their sweet treats, the dining place serves other mouthwatering meals like Rasta Pasta. VIBES BAR 143-06 Liberty Ave Jamaica, NY 11435 (718) 262-0433 vibesnewyork.com Rasta Pasta is a Jamaican and Italian fusion food that contains ingredients such as olive oil, penne pasta, green onion, jerk seasoning, milk, any grated cheese, red and green bell peppers and meat if you prefer.
