Sylvia Woods, the Queen of Soulfood, is the founder and owner of the world famous Sylvias Restaurant, located in the
historical village of Harlem, since 1962. Sylvia was born and raised on her mothers farm in Hemingway, South Carolina. At a very young age Sylvia dreamed of marrying her childhood sweet-heart Herbert, whom she met when they were eleven and twelve, while picking beans after school, and of one day trading in the cotton fields for the bright lights of New York City. Young and tenacious, she was the youngest person in the state to receive her beautician license. Her entrepreneurs spirit was ignited, and she opened first business, a salon in the front room of her mothers farmhouse.
In 1944, Sylvia married Herbert and started her journey towards a brighter future.
Harlem called, and Sylvia answered, as she became a waitress at Johnsons luncheonette. In 1962, Sylvias employer recognized her entrepreneurial spirit and offered to sell the luncheonette to her. Julia Pressley, Sylvias mother, whom was a farmer and mid-wife, mortgaged her farm to loan her the money for the purchase. The than small luncheonette has now flourished into a family owned enterprise consisting of: Sylvias Restaurant in Harlem, Sylvias Also Venue, Sylvias Catering Corp., a nation-wide line of Sylvias Food Products, two deliciously amazing cookbooks, and ATOC, Inc., a real estate firm.
Sylvias unwavering vision, hard work, and determination was shared by her late husband Herbert Woods, and was instilled
in their four children, Van, Bedelia, Kenneth, and Crizette, who together with their children manage this family enterprise. To-date there are three generations of the Woods family working tirelessly, to ensure that their familys business continues to make strides over the next forty-five years.
In keeping with the strong family values and support system that empowered Sylvia, in 2001, The Woods family created the
Sylvia and Herbert Woods Scholarship Endowment Foundation. The SHWF disburses 4-year partial scholarships to children of and around the Harlem community. Sylvias philosophy has always been each one teach, teach one and remember to love and be kind, and the response you receive in return will be priceless.
Sylvia Woods has been lavished with numerous awards and accolades from her peers, community leaders, politicians, and the
business world at large. In recognition of forty years in business, on August 1, 2001 Sylvia rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange and in recognition for her 80th birthday Governor Pataki made Sylvias birthday a New York holiday. Sylvia Woods is also the proud recipient of several legacy awards included the Merit Award from Mayor Bloomberg of New York City, numerous declarations and citations from political figures ranging from President William Jefferson Clinton to Congressman Charles Rangel. Sylvia has been featured on several dozen-television shows across the world, including Good Morning America, The Today Show, The BBC Network, Japan T.V., and The Food Net-Work. Print media has also been a fan of Sylvia garnering her with write-ups in such publications as: The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Elle Magazine, Ebony Magazine, Better Homes and Gardens, Newsweek, and many more.
