Harlem’s Atomic Wings Featured in the NY Post

By HarlemGal

ent0aWe couldn’t help notice the big smiles and feature article in Wednesday’s edition of the NY Post. The Post reported how there is a surge of wings happening in New York City – chicken wings that is! The article also notes Atomic Wings and their expansion in Harlem. HarlemCondoLife blogged about their new place on 113th and Frederick Douglas Blvd. a few weeks back; and have sat down to munch on their wings. They get a thumbs up from us! It’s so good we better go in tomorrow and put in our Super Bowl order!

Congrats to Atomic Wings owners Hugh Webb and James Brown on their media coverage in the Post!

A snowy Friday in Harlem

I was home today preparing for the upcoming holiday. I could not resist going out and taking pictures of our first snow fall for this part of the year- the first that I can remember at least. This is how the day started – gentle snow.

Then, the snow just picked up as the day went on and the clouds got heavy.

As always, Harlem traffic life continued on while it accepted its winter layers of snow. Happy Holidays from HarlemCondoLife!

Camelot Sighting in Harlem

Several news reports said on Thursday that Caroline Kennedy was seen having lunch at Sylvia’s.  I believe Caroline is a Brooklyn Gal now (readers tell me if I am wrong?), however Harlem is such a cool place and Sylvia’s is a long time staple of the community, we can see why she lunched there.

Caroline Kennedy, HarlemCondoLife says come back to Harlem any time and check out our many wonderful eateries we have in Spanish, Central and West Harlem!  image646905

Where can I get a holiday tree in Harlem?

It’s that time of year where some in Harlem want to go green. Not environmental green, but holiday green! Well, look no further. HarlemCondoLife went to the corner of 116th and Lenox Avenue and found a ton of real holiday trees. There were big, little, or medium-sized trees available.  Even miniature trees topped with solid red bows.  If you are looking for a holiday tree, this maybe the place for you!

Senior fellow said look to Harlem for value and stability

Dec 1, 2008 @ 11:31

img_0014In New York Magazine recently there was an article titled “Can this market be saved?” and Julia Vitullo-Martin, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and director of the Center for Rethinking Development, made a positive statement about Harlem.  When asked where to look for value and stability, Vitullo-Martin said “I would go for Harlem.” HarlemCondoLife agrees!

Is FDB becoming the restaurant row in Harlem?

Nov 19, 2008 @ 20:03

For the last couple of years (let’s say three, which isn’t that long), there have been a number of new cafes, restaurants, and bars that have opened up along Frederick Douglass Blvd between 111th and 119th Street. If our memory serves correctly, first it was Society Cafe Lounge. Soon followed Melba’s. After that we believe it was Zoma, Tribal Spears Gallery and Cafe, Nectar Wine Bar and Cafe 2112. Recently, 67 Orange opened, which we hear their Grand Opening is December 5. And now, Svntn Below, which according to Uptown Flavor is open for business!

We like that all these new places have opened up and are very excited that our community continues to grow in the dining/bar/lounges sector!

To answer the question posed, with about eight new places in less than three years opening, this blogger predicts FDB is on track to become the restaurant row of Harlem!

If we left out a new business, please tell us!
