Is FDB becoming the restaurant row in Harlem?

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!

I was walking along 110th Street and noticed the building on 110th Street and Manhattan Avenue was halfway knocked down. It appears this corner, which has been untouched forever with scaffolding, is going down, kuhputz, adios, etc. I wonder what’s going to happen with this space?  Maybe a new apartment building or retail space? Either way its prime Harlem real estate since its one block from Central Park North and right across the street from Morningside Heights Park.  If anyone knows, tell HarlemCondolife.com!

Word on the Harlem street, between 112th and 113th on FDB, is that this is going to be a sandwich place. Yummy.  With the hanging of purple drapes, I assumed wine bar.  Maybe its sandwiches and wine? Tell us if you know.  Either way HarlemCondoLife looks forward to another new biz, whose product is potentially food, to the neighborhood!

That’s it…West Harlem will never be the same

You know when The New York Times features a story on the front page of the Fashion & Style section, its like letting the “cat out of the bag”  or “spilling the beans ” so to speak…but in a good way.  In this week’s edition, there is a story called “Vital Signs Under the Viaduct” and it highlights all the new businesses that are in the area.

Harlemgal has frequented the area. I’ve chowed down on ribs at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, battled for my groceries at Fairway and sipped on some smooth vino at the Hudson River Cafe – all have been fun and delightful experiences.  Now, on my to-do-list, Talay, which was also recently featured in NY Mag!
