☞ EAT: La Perle Noire Cafe and Bakery


The exotic name of this little café in central Harlem might perk up some people's expectations about the décor, but what one will find is a smallish, straightforward neighborhood bakery. With that in mind, the fresh pastries, baguettes and coffee provide a much needed upgrade on this developing strip of Malcolm X above 125th Street and is one of the more notable new businesses. We walked by the other Sunday, and the place was swarming with tourists in between church services. 420 Lenox Avenue between 131st Street & 132nd Street. Tel. (212) 234-1777. Take the 2,3 train to 135th Street.
