A tip came in from a Bespoke reader who mentioned that he talked to the construction worker at the newly finished storefront at 142 Edgecombe. This building was actually abandoned for quite some time and has recently been converted into condos:
I spoke with a workman at the site you initially pegged as the future home of the Hogshead, at 142nd and Edgecombe. He told me it's going to be an indie coffee shop. The outlines of the counter and the exterior are already built, so it shouldn't be too long before they're ready for business.
This would greatly appreciate a nice indie coffee shop in this section of Harlem, i.e. north of 135th & "down the St. Nicholas Park hill"... Seems like all the new places are destined for the CCNY nabe, aka "down the St. Nicholas Park hill". Would love to see more places not centered around alcohol consumption...
ReplyDeleteI don't think this area gets a ton of foot traffic, but a destination type place could be nice, and I could see getting coffee before going to St. Nick Park.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to hitting this place on Saturday morning while waiting for my daughter who takes ballet at Harlem School for the Arts.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to have this place on my block. They did a beautiful job with the ironwork.
