Another lot bites the dust on FDB in Harlem

On my way to work this morning I saw a line of construction vehicles from 114 to 110 (Central Park) along Frederick Douglass Boulevard.    Destination: a formerly empty a few doors South from Zoma on “Restaurant Row“.

My favorite picture is the one of the cement trucks lined up from the lot all the way down FDB to the Park.

Frederick Douglass Boulevard remains on fire from a real estate and new construction perspective.

We look forward to watching, observing and participating in the progress.

What a difference a day makes for Ryan Skeen's 5 & Diamond in Harlem

As that familiar saying goes, what a difference a day makes. I walked by 5 & Diamond, the latest addition to Harlem’s restaurant scene, Tuesday evening and the place looked completely different from Sunday night, which then looked a bit disheveled. The tables are now organized and set with glasses. The bar, or what looked like a bar, was being stocked and one of the investors was on site, i.e. Chef Ryan Skeen. He was there talking away on the phone in what appeared to be a telephone media interview. Clearly, they had some sort of PR push Tuesday cause there are several online articles about the place and the menu was released to NY Magazine.

I inquired again about opening day.  The folks on site said they would not be ready to open on Wednesday, hopefully Thursday or Friday (March 18 or 19th)  at best. Either way, we all have another option for dining to choose from in Harlem and you can pretty much count on HCL to visit the place soon!
