Upper Lenox has been seeing some action in the past year since the arrival of the Red Rooster and it appears that the corner store at 126th Street will be opening a new establishment soon. The fragrance shop with a very clinical looking exterior closed several months ago at 321 Lenox but this past week saw a new permit up on the front door for interior demolition work on the retail space. We could not find much else on the new establishment but a reader just sent in a tip that mentioned a sports bar will soon arrive. Harlem used to be famous for its bars and night life so it appears the that trend is going full circle once more.
That section of Lenox Ave is hot! There's a pizza spot opening on that same block.
ReplyDeleteI hope for some classy signage and welcoming nicely lit windows on this corner, maybe some marquee white bulb style lettering like Red Rooster, Sylvia’s and Les Ambassades.
ReplyDeleteThe west side of the mini restaurant row is now getting some new establishments with this sports bar and the new bar under construction on this same block. As Harlem Bespoke pointed out, Red Rooster is the anchor tenant that brings the crowds in that other businesses benefit from.
ReplyDeletea sports bar would be a great addition to this street.
