Anybody really hang out in there during it's heyday??? I have. I could care less what he's serving. I'm just excited to see the place restored & renovated. I'd be just as excited if they reopened "El Mundel" (formerly on 116th) and sold bagels & lox or the "Blue Book" lounge (on St. Nich) and sold smoothies. With all these eyesores of highrises poking thru MY Harlem horizon, I'm ravenous for some restoration & some PRESERVATION!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-40182222199518483492010-06-17T19:17:06.375-04:002010-06-17T19:17:06.375-04:00Jazz,Soul Food,Italian Food,Jewish Food- New York ...Jazz,Soul Food,Italian Food,Jewish Food- New York has it all we do not need it under one roof like a food court- if you want to open something special in Harlem do that, Harlem is not a CROCK POT- WHAT EVER YOU HAVE LEFT OVER THROW IT IN THE POT.

I am intrigued to see if and what sort of twist this guy will put on the traditional Harlem fare. Anon, what a daft and short sighted comment "What's he doing that Gospel is not?". Living on the UES we had a dozen Italian restaurants within a ten block radius. Why not have another restaurant featuring fine Southern cuisine?

But for me, the story is that he lives here in Harlem & of all places in this City to open a new restaurant, he's choosen to open one here. He most likely won't make marinara sauce the way my grandmother did - or make rugalah the way Mr. Lee (Lee Lee's) does, but different can also be good - just like variety can also be good.Lynnhttp://www.afinelyne.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-47333491648842388972010-02-26T22:04:43.984-05:002010-02-26T22:04:43.984-05:00Most restaurants serve something up that is famili...Most restaurants serve something up that is familiar cuisine.

To this I say Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....<br /><br />How unusual and rare for Harlem. Fried Chicken and Greens, shut the door! Stop the presses! Good grief, before it's opened it's jumped the shark. Too much hype sans anything new or different. What's he doing that Gospel is not? Folks, this smells to high heaven as a heavily PR driven venture. Meaning, the PR machine will get the media to drink the kool-aid and we're supposed to applaud as if something new or different is taking place here - when it's not (for Harlem).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-18255955473997883102010-02-26T18:42:59.910-05:002010-02-26T18:42:59.910-05:00Fabulous indeed!Fabulous indeed!Ulysseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00817576268296958520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-52851034105291017562010-02-26T18:38:18.286-05:002010-02-26T18:38:18.286-05:00I was hoping - but was afraid to ask.
