Carl Redding opened this on Mother's Day 1999 and named it for his grandmother Amy Ruth Moore Bass, who taught him to cook in Alabama. The chicken and waffle platters are named after people, and the one carrying Al Sharpton's name is there because Redding worked at his National Action Network.

Long walk · 0.8 mi · 15 min walk; 2 min ride - South Bronx - Melrose

A bar on East 161st that opened in 1927, the same year as the original Stadium across the street, and has been feeding and watering the same crowd since. It is a long wood bar with televisions and photographs everywhere. The menu starts with wings and burgers. Sandwiches fill out the rest. On game days it is packed solid and there is a line on the sidewalk. On any other day you walk in and sit down.
