  1. Thanks for listing these other fine Restaurants in Harlem. I've been to quite a few of them and had great evenings dining and drinking with friends so YES, America, there are OTHER restaurants than Red Rooster! BTW, Harvist could be added to the list. Dropped by a couple of days after the opening for wine (they can't serve hard liquor due to churches close by) and wings and calamari and it was great! Attentive service and nice atmosphere were most welcomed!

  2. This list is fantastic! I've really been digging Lido, which I think is particularly high quality and great atmosphere.
