I’m sorry you were inconvenienced, however I know that the Woods are very nice people and would be willing to talk to you if you approached them respectfully.

Certainly NOT New York’s “only” founding father- John Jay, for one example.

Yesterday they had their grand opening party and it would appear that a lot of alcohol was consumed which was a real shame because it showed just how inconsiderate the new store is going to be to their new neighbors. Harlem Haberdashers owners should know only to well that this neighborhood is a quiet one, peaceful area. Last night’s the loud music and the screaming of their guests over the music went on to 10:45PM, remember last night was a work night. When the music eventually stopped, the yelling from their patrons and employees continued way past midnight. I am very disappointed that a store that is spending so much to appear “upscale” and is in fact succeeding in doing the opposite.

This sucks! I’m almost inclined to stand on a street corner and take up a collection for them. They were supposed to be moving a block uptown and having their current space taken over by an Ace Hardware, which would have been great for the neighborhood (even though some of the little hardware cum dollar stores in the area probably would have put out of their misery). Lenox Wines really added a touch of class to the area. I’d hate for all of us to lose out over seven thousand stupid dollars.

Comment on Les Ambassades opens a Bar & Restaurant by Hugo Ortega

I think it’s a smart move. You get a lot more casual foot traffic if it’s a bar. Being coined a buffet spot might discourage folks looking for a casual spot to catch a drink or two. I believe, though, that they should still keep some remnant of the buffet. The buffet concept has always had a soft spot in Harlem eateries. You can see it with Manna’s and Jacob’s Restaurant. The smartest thing would be to follow what Spoonbread does. Have a limited buffet menu that can be rotated during the week for lunch only. It would provide a decent lunch crowd following and then transition nicely into after-work mode with happy hour drinks & pub food or a formal dinner. It covers the whole spectrum of patrons.

What a truly profound way to acknowledge Women’s History Month in honoring our collective shero Harriet Tubman! Kudos to the sponsoring organization, the attendees and all who have greatly benefitted from the proud legacy of uncomprimising Black womanhood which is embodied by Tubman.

I think this means they did not pay their taxes.
