The color scheme is based on light greens with white molding in select areas. The bar appeared to be concrete-like, not wooded, larger than before, and its on the left side when you walk in. Brushed silver light fixtures will illuminate the restaurant. Their <a href=\"http:\/\/lidoharlem.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">website is up<\/a> with limited information.<\/p>\n<p>And of course, I had to ask Susannah why they named the restaurant Lido.
