How many more dining places will open on Frederick Douglass Blvd in Harlem, the area between 110th and 125th Street dubbed restaurant row by HarlemGal? Well, apparently one, or two or three more Harlem businesses will open in this part of Harlem.

115 Restaurant Corp has filed a liquor license for the commercial space right across from Made En Harlem, which we’ve learned from DNAinfo will be a taqueria place. 115 Restaurant Corp will be located on the southeast corner of 115th and FDB. It’s in the building where apartments are renting for around $4k a month.

The only info we can find at the moment on 115 Restaurant Corp is the name is registered to someone who lives in Harlem. That’s all we know. As soon as we know more, we will pass along the info! And if you have any insight, feel free to chime in!

And Jeff Mays from DNAinfo reported recently that The Chipped Cup and Lenox Coffee will be expanding to Harlem’s restaurant row with The Mess Hall and Bearded Lady Espresso. These Harlem businesses will open near 118th and FDB!

So the answer is yes! More places can and are opening on FDB between 110th and 125th Street. However, it’s starting to get crowded out there!

Mobile City Services comes to Harlem, opened in October at 1469 Fifth Avenue

Posted on December 6, 2013 | Leave a comment

There’s a new Harlem business in town and it’s designed to make those house/apartment chores a bit more manageable. It’s called Mobile City Services and it was founded by a twenty-something named John Henry. What is Mobile City Services? It’s a Concierge company that provides a range of services from Dry Cleaning, Housekeeping, and Dog Walking straight to the door of busy professionals.

In early 2012, Henry began noticing that the only bit of spare time he had was being spent on tedious tasks at home. Similar to many urban residents, Henry relied on a job that required suits, which meant regular visits to the dry cleaner. Also, his long work hours meant leaving before the local cleaners opened, and arriving after they closed. Mobile City Services aims to solve this problem by providing door to door service.

According to a news release, Mobile City Services is trusted by movie and film crews shooting in New York. Clients include: HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, and the new production of Annie staring Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx.

Interested to learn more about this Harlem business and it’s services? Check out their website or friend them on Facebook.
