☞ EAT: New Island Salad Open for Business

The shuttered Perle Noire Cafe on Lenox Avenue closed this past spring and the new business at the corner of 131st Street has now finally arrived.  Tips came in that a second branch of Harlem's own Island Salad would arrived and the awnings out front had been set up for most of the summer.

A reader mentioned that the new business is now open and the above current photo shows that the healthy eatery is definitely up and running.  Island Salad made the news a couple of years back when it debuted at 22 East 125th Street as better option to most of the fast food establishments found in the area.  It seems that they are now doing well and there was a busy dinner crowd at the second location when we walked  by in the early evening. The planters out front are also a nice touch. Check out our past review on the original Island Salad: LINK
