Great news - this seems to have the right basic idea: good prices, a bar, food that's not available yet in the area. Let's hope they nail the decor because that is always the key .. anybody remember the UWS location?
ReplyDeleteI ate there about 7 years ago with my girlfriend (now wife) - it was pretty good but honestly don't remember the specifics of the food, but do remember it being a very fun, enjoyable night. So hopefully they can bring the same vibe and enjoyment Uptown.
ReplyDeleteI love Turkish food!I look forward to trying them out.
ReplyDeleteTurkish food has a long tradition in Harlem.
ReplyDeleteI never knew, more history please
DeleteI am really curious by what you mean by that pignoli...? I am Turkish living in Harlem for the last 4 years and Turkish food is virtually non-existent here. My peeps are too uptight to live above 96th Street
ReplyDeleteI've been to the one on the UWS, it's quite good. This is great news - more improvement in the neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteI know the guy who owns this restaurant and have eaten in his restaurant on UWS years ago. He has great food. I own a building couple blocks down and it makes me very happy to see that all these businesses are opening up here. Best of luck to him.
