Harlem in the News
Oh look! The Times wrote pretty much the same thing we wrote the other week about restaurant closings in Harlem.
Also, Oprah sent her declutter man, Peter Walsh, into Harlem to go into people’s homes on the “Clean Up Your Messy House Tour.” Some people actually opened their doors! See more here.

Diane: Yeah, he had his pick of apartments to help organize. Nice apartments. It looked like the building on 116th and Lenox.
Oprah’s crew was indeed in my building in Harlem! I saw the cars outside on my way to work and then saw the show on Thursday. I still don’t know how they chose our building, but it was a great choice!
LOL @ anon. Thanks. I think he read your comment because he actually named us in his last post about the Harriet Tubman statue. Thanks, Timothy.
i think you’ll find that writer, timothy williams, is pretty guilty of that on several occasions. he also uses really outdated information and unresearched facts constantly. he basically uses blogs as his source and factchecking. when he bites off of you, he’s at least on solid factual ground!
Yah I feel you. A little “according to blogger Uptown Flavor….”
would go a long way.
P-
Some of it is tongue in cheek, but some of it is pretty blatant. Midtown Lunch or another foodie site saw one of their posts practically verbatim in a local paper. I see it a lot. You know first hand how often blogger scoops are swiped and uncredited. Maybe they don’t want to credit us because there is still the stigma that we are not credible. Funny thing is that we often research our stories more thoroughly than they do! We just have to cry foul whenever we see it. We give them credit whenever we link to their information…they can at least give the little guys a shout out.
as a matter of fact…When I was going to include the Times link in my wrap up tomorrow, I was like, oh wait, I should just include Uptowns cause it was the same thing!
You know d, I noticed that. Often stories might get the same treatment from a variety of online and paper outlets, so I see this kind of overlap sometimes, but when I saw this particular article, def I was struck by how similar it was to the one you posted last week.
