Created By:  Ernesto Johnson

More Info-

This Saturday, Id like to take folks along on a soulful expedition featuring the sounds of two of my favorite female artists, the late Amy Winehouse and the Queen, Mrs. Mary J. Blige.

Amy Winehouse is one of my favorite present day artists. I dig on Amy not only for her nostalgic ballads, not only for her bravado, but musically, this sistah has the chops of giants. Amy’s style ranks with some of biggest and brightest legends, and in recognition of her dope songs, I’ll be paying tribute with a lil Amy in my set. I know you’re gonna dig this. ((No bandwagon))

I’ll also be rocking joints from another one of my all time favorites, the Queen, Miss M.J.B. Mary’s so bad, when you throw on one of her songs; you either start dancing or singing, including tough guys. Expect to hear the jams we all know and love.

Join Us and tell a friend!

Grooves Provided by Dj NessDigital HipHop/RnB/Remixes/Exclusi​ves/Neo-Soul/Amy Winehouse + Mary J Blige Special Tribute.

By HarlemHouse                                                                                                              Something of interest worth checking out which I am passing along for a friend.  Harlem4Obama – POTUS’ 50TH Birthday Campaign Launch Party at the impressive new Brownstone Lounge.  It will be held on Thursday, August 4th from 5:30pm – 8:30pm.  Join Harlem4Obama for President Obama’s 50th Birthday and the launch of Harlem4Obama 2012 with a Harlem House Party.   Note a recent review on July 24th of The Brownstone Lounge by Harlem+Bespoke.   I was there recently for drinks and had a great time.  Nice atmosphere and the music was good.  I look forward to going back on August 4th for the Harlem4Obama Party.

See you all there!

BABY YOGURT coming to Harlem?

Posted on July 16, 2011 by | 3 Comments

By NativeNewYorker

Reliable sources tell us that the owner of Baby Yogurt is about to sign a lease for one of the commercial spaces in the Gateway Tower on Frederick Douglass  Boulevard between 113th & 114th Streets.  Baby Yogurt offers a variety of flavors of frozen yogurt, created using “Yogorino”, an Italian process that produces a low-calorie, low fat confection that is “healthy enough for a baby” (their motto).  A nail salon has already leased the adjacent storefront in the Gateway Tower.

A(nother) Building Grows On Harlem's Gold Coast / Restaurant Row

Posted on July 3, 2011 by | 1 Comment

 

By HarlemGuy                                                                                                                                       I continue to be surprised by the pace of development in Harlem, in particular on what is now well-known as the Gold Coast / Restaurant Row.   Which is why this new construction sprouting on what is now the remaining half of the Garden of Love at 116th between Frederick Douglass Boulevard and Morningside Avenue – and directly across the street from Harlem Tavern, caught my eye.

What new manner of residential or commercial  enterprise will appear here we can only imagine.

We would love to hear from you if you know anything.

Harlem In The Hamptons (or is it The Hamptons In Harlem)?

Posted on June 28, 2011 by | 7 Comments

credit: Levain Bakery

By HarlemGuy                                                                                                                                 One of my favorite pastimes while traveling is looking for references to Harlem.

So I was pleasantly surprised to see the following roadside sign while driving back from a recent trip to Amaganset in the Hamptons.

Curious, I ran in to confirm what I suspected.  As many of you may know we have a Levain Bakery right here in Harlem’s Gold Coast / Restaurant row, on the West Side of Frederick Douglass Boulevard, between 116th and 117th.  A few steps away from Harlem Tavern, Lido, and a few blocks away from Melba’s, Society, Five & Diamond, Bier International and Zoma, to name just a few.

That being said I took the opportunity to stop by, spend a moment with one of the owners and the staff who were of course suitably dressed.  I particularly loved the Harlem 10026 T-shirt!

I love that we have a little piece of the Hamptons in Harlem.  Better yet, I love that there’s a little bit of Harlem in the Hamptons.

This is made all the sweeter (no pun intended) when you consider that Levain bakery is also one of Oprah’s favorites.

And of course my favorite cookie is what else but Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip.

Of which I promptly purchased several.

In Harlem, of course (smile).

Great Progress At Harlem's New Cedric Restaurant

Posted on June 21, 2011 by | 1 Comment

By HarlemHouse
HarlemGuy reported a couple weeks back about Cedric Restaurant coming to Harlem.  Cedric Lecendre, a Harlem resident and Bilboquet’s general manager and the nephew of its owner, Philippe Delgrange, has signed a lease for Cedric which will open within a month.  Stopping by there last Friday I spoke briefly with Cedric and one of the employees.  This will be a French Bistro and if reputation prevails the food will be good.  I can say they are making great progress.  As soon as I get an exact date I will share what I’ve learned.  I look forward to reviewing Cedrics as soon as it opens.

This is a perfect time of the year to open – just in time for Summer dining. Cedric’s is located at 185 Saint Nicholas Ave at 119th St. where the old Mojos was (see prior review).  This will be nice for the mini 119th street strip of restaurant/bars that includes Moca, Billie’s Black and directly next door the new Cedric Restaurant.

Stay tuned for news on the latest progress.

Harlem – There's A New iPhone App In Town – Rewardy!

Posted on June 17, 2011 by | 2 Comments

By HarlemGuy
There’s a new iPhone app in town. Even the local laundromats are getting into the game.

On FDB between 113 and 114 you can now apparently use your iPhone to refill your wash card. That’s pretty cool.

My building has been struggling for years to bring similar digital payment technology available to owners. This is yet more indication of available options.

Welcome Rewardy!
