NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEW / TIPS for RESTAURANTS and STORES
Harlem is very vivid with new many restaurants of all cuisines , jazz clubs, trendy coffees and pubs, Whole-food, and the 125th commercial corridor with all the big chains . Some specific recommendations:
1) For Groceries: There is a small shop on the corner of 134th and 7th ave ( just cross the street and go to the corner) and they are open 24/7 for the immediate essentials including milk and juice. For more serious shopping - there is a new Wholefood on 125th and 6th, but there are other supermarkets ( less fancy but good) close to the house (132/8th, and 130/6th). Before WholeFood opened I use to go to Best Market for the best sushi you can ask for ( 8th ave between 118 and 119) . it is a walk but it worth it if you like sushi.
2) for Resturants- My favorite is on the other side of 7th Ave (between 134 and 133) -Yatenga. Go two blocks south , on the corner of 132 you will find Renaissance which is open also for breakfast . I also like The Edge Cafe on 139th and Edgcombe ave. Treat yourself one day to Red Rooster, corner Social, Barawine ( all on Lenox between 126th and 120). There are also good restaurants on 8th ave ( from 117 to 127)
3) Many Jazz places around. The closest one is Bill’s Place, on 148 W 133rd st. Twov minutes walk. Bill and company play jazz in the basement on Friday's and Saturday's eves . Go online and book a 20 $ ticket and come early as the seats are not marked..
