About Harlem Shake
Jelena Pasic, who grew up in a small Croatian town, first visited Harlem in 2003 and kept coming back, falling for the neighbourhood’s history, architecture and sense of community. She dreamed of opening a local diner that would honour Harlem rather than change it, and in 2013 Harlem Shake opened its doors, designed as a love letter to the area’s culture.
Two restaurants: the original in Harlem and one in Brooklyn.
