Father's Day 2011 is the first holiday that upper Lenox celebrated with a variety of outdoor dining options. Now that the Red Rooster has opened up on Lenox and 126th Street, a row of alfresco seating can be seen connecting the blocks between 125th and 127 Street. With perfect weather for a Sunday weekend, Chez Lucienne, Red Rooster and Sylvia's were all completely packed. Sylvia's seem to have more than it could handle with a huge lines of tourists out front while the other two newcomers were pleasantly busy. This really shows the way groups of restaurants can transform a neighborhood just by having outdoor cafes lining the boulevard.
What a gorgeous day! Lenox Ave was looking great and local businesses seemed to be doing very very well - this is a seriously busy corridor!
ReplyDeleteHarlem is looking great!
I was out of town for my dad ... but maybe next year I'll have him visit me in new york!
ReplyDeleteUpper Lenox restaurant row is really vibrant and all establishments have a considerable number of tables both inside and out, between them they attract a lot of clientele. Upper Lenox restaurant row is now quite the destination and makes for a great ambassador for Harlem visitors.
ReplyDeleteGuys - I love the positive sentiments about our neighborhood, but until Chez Lucienne and Sylvia's fix their terrible food they are doing us all a disservice.. Endless tourists never coming back do not a good restaurant make.
