If any readers out there have a question they would like to throw out to the Bespoke audience on neighborhood organizations, restoration services, property search or history, just send them over and we can possibly have it written up as a future post:

I would love to know about former Jewish institutions in Harlem and what the buildings are used for now. Some are obvious-- the former Temple Israel is now Mount Olivet Church, the former Temple Ansche Chesed is also a church, etc.-- but old Yiddish theaters, smaller synagogues, etc. are harder to find information on. Also, I'd love to know why Tonnie's Minis in Harlem is the only location of that business to have kosher certification; whatever the reason, my fellow Harlem Jews and I are very grateful!
