When it comes to eateries, NYC is at the very top. But when visiting NYC, don’t miss out on Harlem’s booming food scene. Dominek Tubbs will show you the ropes. An avid Yelp user and Yelp Eliter, Tubbs decided to take her food reviews to the next level and launched the food blog Dom N’ The City back in 2016. She has since grown her brand quite a bit and is a rising star on Instagram.
“I started blogging back in 2016,” she told Medium, “and it became a creative outlet and it had me excited to power through my day at work and get home to work on something that is MINE. My friends hear me often refer to my life outside of work as my 6:01 Life because Worker Dom is done at 6 and content creation begins at 6:01. Use of my time includes responding to Instagram engagement, looking up new restaurants, or reading blogging-related content while on the subway.”
A dedicated food blogger, Tubbs is also very passionate about businesses from marginalized communities. “The mission behind Dom N’ The City has always been to highlight great restaurants and businesses,” she shared in a recent Instagram post. “Harlem has been home to us for almost 6 years, and I love this neighborhood and the community that has welcomed me with open arms.”
And since dining out is not really an option, Tubbs has also been sharing recently some quick and easy recipes for home, which means you really don’t have any excuses left but to head on to her Instagram page.
