REMEMBER: A HARLEM CORNER GROCERY CIRCA 1940


Harlem Bespoke:  Who can guess the location of this corner grocery store in Harlem?  The building actually still stands today and one big clue is the incline on the side street which means the address is somewhere in the hilly heights of Harlem towards the west side.  An updated photo will be published later on in the day for the big reveal.
The address is at the corner of West 152nd Street and St. Nicholas Place on Sugar Hill and the current photo shows the current condition.  For some reason the building has been boarded up all these years and every  neighborhood could always use another grocery store to be closer in walking distance.
