Today, we're back in Brooklyn for an all-BK episode. First, we sit down with Tomer Blechman, chef and owner of multiple restaurants. He shares stories about growing up in his grandma's kitchen, building community through his restaurants, juggling multiple operations, and creating a family-friendly space with live music on Sunday evenings.

Next, we dip into the archives for one of our favorite soulful performances from Eli "Paperboy" Reed. If you have a chance, check out his Instagram, where he teases his rendition of Sam Cooke's live performance at the Harlem Square Club. We're eagerly awaiting its full release because what he has shared so far leaves us wanting more.

As we head into summer, please consider supporting HRN. Your donations, whatever you can afford, are greatly appreciated. Sit back, relax, and enjoy Snacky Tunes here on HRN.
