DWELL: 127 WEST 129TH SOLD IN APRIL

Harlem Bespoke:  Number 127 West 129th Street is now up on the market for $1.65 million back last November, had a contract out by February and records now show that the townhouse sold for the asking price.  As previously mentioned, the 2-family home was gut renovated 5 years ago but is probably best used as a single family home.  Why the low price point?  The width of the brownstone is only 12.5-foot wide but those who like a loft like interior with just a touch of original detail might want to check this one out.  express trains on Lenox are just around the corner and the new Whole Foods is 4 blocks away.   More photos and details on Streeteasy: LINK

EAT: THE BEST FISH SANDWICH 2018

Harlem Bespoke:  Harlem Food Bar on FDB by 114th Street has one of the best fried chicken specials but also has a more healthy offering that is quite outstanding.  We first saw the Salmon BLT on the eatery's instagram account and knew that this was one of the things to try out in 2018.  The chef recommended to serve it up medium rare and the result was not unlike a Japanese tataki except for the crispy skin on the outside.  Every bite of the salmon was buttery soft and the wasabi mayo on the side really hit home the east meets west combo.  There are a lot of fried fish sandwiches to be found uptown so this great sandwich makes for a lighter alternative that still packs in the flavor.  Read more about Harlem Food Bar in our past post: LINK
