Bernie Sanders, fresh off a sweeping New Hampshire victory, invaded Hillary Clinton’s back yard on Wednesday and broke bread with Al Sharpton to make his most public effort yet to court black voters.

The Vermont senator is in desperate need of African-American support, as he looks ahead to the Feb. 27 Democratic primary in South Carolina, where black voters make up more than half of the state’s registered Democrats.

The presidential hopeful showed up at 9:45 a.m. and the brief meeting broke up at 10:18 a.m.

Sanders and Sharpton emerged with supporters chanting “Bernie, Bernie … Bern baby Bern!”

Sylvia’s is around the corner from former President Bill Clinton’s office on 125th Street.

15. Bernie: How we gonna roll this out? Al: We should talk to Hillary first just for appearances....

Bernie: Good idea, that gives us time to work the Belafonte endorsement.

Al: Okay then, we will plan on doing this next week then.

Bernie: Works for me, by the way.. let me pick up the check. My campaign has brought in several million dollars in the last few hours.

Al: Thanks, I'll get the next one.
