HarlemCondoLife has been hearing rumors about an upscale grocery store coming to Central Harlem. It’s a rumor no more! I spoke with Winick Realty Group today and they have confirmed that they are bringing a high end grocery store to the SoHa Building at 118th and Frederick Douglass.
Winick could not confirm who the retailer is yet. They only said that they are working on plans and hope to make an announcement soon! Like in a week in a half! We think this is good news for the area! Another option to get groceries!
If you have more details than Winick, please let us know!

Would that Upscale grocery be “Zabars”?

THANK GOD! FINALLY!
I won’t have to shop at that disgusting “C-Town” on 116th anymore.

Thank you all for the comments. My money is down on either Citerella or Garden of Eden. Let’s see. Either another option is nice!

Wouldn’t “Trader Joe’s” be great? They just opened one in Brooklyn that seems to be doing well. So I’ll keep my finger’s crossed for that.
Any store with nice fresh produce and fish/meats would be great. I do like, and shop at, “Organic Forever”, “Central Market” and “Karrot”. However, they are seriously lacking in those departments.

I think a Trader Joe’s would be great. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
