☞ BESPOKE: More Young Families in Harlem

We realized that the there are a lot more young families moving to Harlem after going to recent fall festivals and new restaurant openings.  It now seems every public outdoor event has some sort of kid friendly activity and some of the less formal restaurants are often packed with strollers.  On our first visit to the new Mountain Bird eatery on 145th Street, there were at least two families in the restaurant having a night out with the kids.

This is probably one of the untapped businesses ideas uptown since there are not many places specifically to go to for families to have a night out.  An ideal establishment would be accessible enough for a young family to go to lunch or an early dinner but also stylish enough for the younger crowd that eventually go out later in the evening. Bier International, Il Caffe Latte, Harlem Shake and Corner Social are a few places that get this mix right.
