Davie Simmons was born and raised in Georgetown, Guyana, and he now lives in Brooklyn, where his daughter Jasmine Myrick was born and raised.
Simmons has been running his restaurant, Uptown Veg, since 1994. It has two locations in Harlem, one at 52 East 125th St., and the other at 349 Malcolm X Blvd.
The restaurant’s Brooklyn location just opened in June, at 364 Lewis Ave., in the neighborhood of Bed-Stuy. “My father had the largest influence on me opening a store in Brooklyn,” Myrick said.
