One of the long standing bodegas on Harlem’s Restaurant Row on 8th Ave and 114th st. will close in March due to rising rents.
The bodega was often a lifesaver for us.
We will miss them.
Best of luck.

Since the beginning of April, one of my favorite Harlem bodegas has been going through a major transformation. It’s the bodega on the corner of West 112th Street and Frederick Douglass Blvd.
I spoke with the owner recently and asked “why all the changes?” He said it was time for a different look and he wanted to keep up with the changing neighborhood. From these photos, which were taken in April and May, you can see the evolution of this Harlem Bodega. One day it was boarded up and then the next thing you see is a big red sign. I like the new appearance and I’m ready for the bodega to reopen.
In addition, the owner said they plan to open in about another week with 24 hour store hours. So if you need an item after hours, this place at 2070 Frederick Douglass Blvd plans to be open!

By Icare4Harlem Earlier this year I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the opening of The Atrium Café in Harlem. As part of the museum experience, the café is right next door to the Studio Museum and is in partnership with Great Performances, an event planning and leading catering company. Stop by for a quick bite and enjoy their new hours and new menu!
