Things seem to be coming along for the opening of Barawine neighborhood restaurant on the bright sunny corner of Lenox Ave Malcolm X Boulevard and 120th Street.  After leaving the opening of Harlem Shake the other day, we walked 4 blocks down on Lenox to check on the progress of Barawine.  Nicely situated on the north east corner of the avenue next to the charming Settepani restaurant.   This will add to this section of Lenox Avenue where further up there are a cluster of restaurants Sylvia’s, Les Ambassades, Corner Social, Red Rooster, Cove Lounge, Chez Lucienne and the new Harlem Shake.

The signage which use to read coming soon Winter 2013 now says Spring 2013.  I predict soon it will read Summer 2013 as they appear to be a few weeks away from their opening day.  Word on the street (and from one of the workman who will remain nameless) said they were waiting on their liquer license and clearance for outdoor seating.  We are hopeful for this new addition to the neighborhood in Harlem.  Stay tuned for further information and their official opening date.

Grubstreet reports that the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network has approached Russell Simmons to launch an initiative to provide healthy food to New Yorkers living in the city’s food deserts.   The concept is to mimic Trader Joe’s business model and manufacture and sell it’s own products.  The plan calls for opening a food factory and a chain of stores in neighborhoods that include Central Harlem.   “We want cool, fun vegetarian stuff,” Simmons told the New York Daily News. “It’s an alternative to eating poison.” He’s about to start raising money through a crowdsourcing campaign on his website.
