A group of colleagues and I went to Cedric for dinner. Towards the end of the meal, we were asked to move by Cedric to accommodate a party of four, who were all Caucasian. We graciously gave up our seats, moved to the designated cramped seating by the kitchen, bathroom, and front entrance. We continued to spend more money at the restaurant; however, still confused by our relocation since a few of us were still eating at the time. When we asked Cedric why we needed to move to a different table, he told us that the party of four had moved into the neighborhood, bought condos, and they were "regulars" and he knew them -- which is why he felt the need to accommodate them. When we reminded him about our long-standing support to his restaurant, and our overall support in Harlem, he responded "I do not care about long-time residents of Harlem, I am running a business", in a very loud and egregious tone. This all took place in front of other patrons and his staff. It has become apparent -- based upon the layers of responses we've received from others in the community -- that unequal treatment, strategic table placement, and disproportionate levels of service is a common theme at Cedric. We simply wish to raise awareness about these troubling incidents that occurred in hopes that the trend stops here and now. For those of you who have experienced similarly troubling incidents at Cedric, we encourage you to share your stories
