Harlem Condo Life<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By Icare4Harlem<\/p>\n

When I first moved into Harlem, I remember surfacing from the No. 6 train station on 116th<\/sup> St. and noticed a \u201cHershey\u2019s Ice Cream\u201d store sign.\u00a0 I must admit that I never stopped in but it wasn\u2019t long before the store closed.\u00a0 Then a hot dog eatery moved in, only to succumb to the high risks associated with the food industry.\u00a0 In mid 2009, a new restaurant appeared and I\u2019m pleased to say that the business is coming around to the one year mark.<\/p>\n

Initially, when they opened, I had passed by many times and finally decided to give it a try. \u00a0I ordered two soft shell tacos which turned out to be perfect for a quick snack and very affordable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

Fast forward\u2026\u2026After working late one night and too tired to cook, I wondered if anything had changed since my first visit.\u00a0 I can happily report that business was busy, lively music abounded, and my tostadas hit the spot!\u00a0 It was a pleasure to see the mixture of people patronizing this restaurant.\u00a0 In my opinion, food is a universal bond that opens the doors to other cultures.<\/p>\n

El Aguila is located at 137 E. 116 St. (NW corner of Lexington and 116th<\/sup> St.)\u00a0 It is opened 24 hours and serves a variety of Mexican dishes.\u00a0 You can order single items or full plates.\u00a0 Fresh juices in large glass vats provide a refreshing relief from those hot summer days.\u00a0 There are also pastries and desserts to compliment your meal.\u00a0 If you\u2019re unfamiliar with some of the dishes on the menu, don\u2019t worry, the staff will readily assist you.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m always delighted to see a business succeed, especially in these times.\u00a0 Running a restaurant is an additional challenge.\u00a0 So hats off to El Aguila as you approach your first milestone!<\/p>\n
