We now know the name of the restaurant space we have been following for months! It is called 5 & Diamond located at 2072 Frederick Douglass Blvd. The chef will be Ryan Skeen.
From the pics below, workers have been working overtime and told us they are suppose to open tomorrow night, Wednesday. Yikes! Ahh…it appears they have a lot to do from these pics. Stay tune for more info!!!!

We walked by today & they do look ready to open – finally. Hope it’s good.
Yes. They have the place organized and they are getting ready to open. It will not be tomorrow. They hope to be ready on Thursday or Friday according to the workers on site.
here are the 2 short articles i found about the restaurant and its owners. Coolest part is that they also want it to be a place where community activism is nurtured.

Ryan Skeen’s 5 & Diamond today and Marcus Samuelsson’s Red Rooster by late summer… wow! Frederick Douglass Boulevard in South Harlem is in it’s early stages of making an explosive statement for a true culinary renaissance movement.
