☞ SHOP: M&G Diner Space Still Vacant


It's been well over a year since the old M&G Diner space finished up the facade renovations but the shuttered soul food retail space has yet to find a new tenant.  This intersection at 383 West 125th Street had been the home of one of Harlem's most recognizable eateries for decades but the proprietors left the business a few years back.  Only one of the iconic signs have been left up as a decorative reminder of the storefront's history and it was reported that Marcus Samuelsson took one of the other ones for the lounge at the Red Rooster.   What should go in this space?

  1. Somebody should contact the owners of the far WestSide Cuban restaurant that closed a few years ago and ask them if they're interested?

  3. Almost any kind of restaurant would be great! Our immediate neighborhood doesn't have too much in the way of good restaurants, though the string of restaurants on FDB isn't too far, nor the ones in the low 120s on Amsterdam.

    A good Indian restaurant... vegetarian restaurant.. Thai restaurant... American/diner food... even one of those salad restaurants... I'd definitely make good use of any of those!

    On second thought, even though I'm vegetarian, something does feel kind of wrong about a veggie restaurant going in the M&G Diner space.

  5. Any type of restaurant! And please have outdoor seating as well! More outdoor seating is great for the neighborhood.
