Harlem Bespoke. We took the above photo
a year ago of one of the last old-school Chinese takeout spots to be found uptown that had shuttered and something new has quietly opened at this West Harlem corner. Today the upper signage still hangs at this corner of 135th Street and Amsterdam but signage below is now quite different.
As can be seen in the above photo, another Asian specialty storefront has arrived called Tidal Tea. Bubble Tea stores have been popular further south by Columbia University since there is a huge international student demographic from China and evidently the flavored cold milk tea mixed with chewy tapioca pearls have made its way over to to the City College neighborhood. Apparently the location does not have early morning hours so we will have to drop by some other time to try things out. Read more about the former old school takeout spot in our past post:
