Harlem’s Restaurant Row Goes Mobile – Here come the Foodtrucks!

Posted on April 14, 2014 by HarlemGuy | 12 Comments

HarlemCondoLife is happy to see that “Harlem Restaurant Row” (the phrase, the concept, the place) is maintstream, as friend to our publication Michael Feeney reinforces in his latest piece in the Daily News.

After several delays earlier this year, food trucks arrived on Frederick Douglass Boulevard. It was a huge success. Which translates into more trucks coming soon – starting May 10th.

We love a good food truck. Our one hope is that Harlem businesses will broaden their brand and their reach by setting up and/or bringing their own food trucks to the party. See our previous post Harlem Food Truck Rally.

Welcome one. Welcome all. Welcome food trucks to Harlem Restaurant Row. See the full NY Daily News article below.

Brunch In Harlem

Posted on April 13, 2014 by HarlemGuy | 15 Comments

Saturday and Sunday Brunch in Harlem is serious business – an event that is not to be missed.

It’s all about legendary, newly established and up and coming restaurants, often at full capacity, serving a wide variety of great food, to well-dressed locals and visitors from the world over, in one of The City’s hottest neighborhoods.

Stay tuned as we identify several of our favorite places below, which include the Five and Diamond, Red Rooster, Melbas, Harlem Food Bar, The Cecil, Chocolat, Sylvia’s, Lido, Maison, Kitchenette and Vinateria – to name just a few.

A word to the wise. Harlem’s Restaurant Rows are easy to stroll. However be warned: Be hungry. Have a place in mind. Pick a backup. Get there early. Don’t always expect to be seated right away it may take a few minutes. Don’t rule out making a reservation which you can do via Opentable, etc. Basically, apply the same rules you would apply elsewhere in NYC. But whatever you do, do check out Brunch in Harlem!
