Shaw-Naé’s House
Description
This beloved soul food joint is located in Stapleton Heights, birthplace of legendary Wu-Tang Clan members Ghostface Killah, Shyheim and RZA. Self-taught head chef Shaw-naé Dixon treats every patron like family—the name of her restaurant reflects that the space is simply an extension of her own home—and she’s amassed a legion of local and celebrity fans, including Charlamagne tha God and Angie Martinez. She’s also catered for Bruce Willis, Edward Norton and Lil’ Kim. And, in a full-circle moment, the lifelong Staten Island resident now has ties to Wu-Tang through mutual acquaintances.
