Powamekka Cafe is a concept that Pac wrote about, and his estate will be teaming up with the Nas and John Seymour-owned restaurant, Sweet Chick to make it happen. Powamekka Cafe will be up and running on April 7th-9th.

Seymour released the following statement:

Sweet Chick is about community and culture at its core, and so was Tupac. As a restaurant, we embody everything he represents — music, style, food, and neighborhood. We are honored to be hosting the Powamekka Cafe pop-up at Sweet Chick, and help bring his vision to life with the dishes that he loved.

Tupac’s vision for his restaurant, Powamekka Café, was conceived on three handwritten pages in his notebook more than 21 years ago. This Friday his vision comes to life for 3 days only in NYC. Make your reservation // link in bio.

The cafe will include a “carefully curated collection” of personal photos, poetry, and music from the “Hit ‘Em Up” rapper. If you’re partaking in this historic moment, you can expect to enjoy a variety of Southern favorites including, gumbo, meatloaf, and Tupac’s cousin’s Jamala’s fried chicken.

Powamekka Cafe is now accepting reservations for this three-day event here.
