Yep. And blacks. I went to a really cool brunch near by that featured a drag queen show. They did an amazing job. Was fun as hell.

A drag queen lives in my building.

Well lets pick up this again, after waiting 2 months to try to observe if gentrification is slowing down in Harlem, all i can say is no, is not slowing down.


Here are six notable establishments set to debut in August or soon after. From south to north they are:

Ginjan Cafe
The Corn Exchange Building, 81 E 125th St and Park Ave
Guinean brothers Mohammed and Rahim Diallo will soon be selling their gourmet brand of ginger juice (plus coffee and more) out of a new cafe in East Harlem's beautifully renovated Corn Exchange Building. The spot debuts in early August.

Bread and Yoga Harlem
350 St. Nicholas Ave between W 127th and W 128th Sts
The former Unity Yoga on St. Nicholas Avenue is set to reopen as the second location of the Inwood-based Bread and Yoga. Sign up now for the pre-opening student special ($50); classes begin Saturday, August 3.

Ouaga Sports Bar
2280 Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd and 134th St
The team behind Shrine, Yatenga Harlem and Silvana is getting ready to open its fourth venture: Ouaga, a decidedly chic spot (there's a very Parisian looking copper bar) to drink a pint while watching a game.

Tidal Tea
1520 Amsterdam Ave at W 135th St
City College students are about to get their first bona fide bubble tea shop, located right down the street from the campus' main entrance on Amsterdam. What took so long?

Reverence
2592 Frederick Douglass Blvd at W 138th St
Underground dining pioneer and Bravo TV alum Russell Jackson is opening the doors to Reverence, Harlem's latest fine dining destination, on August 6. The spot is already taking reservations.

Hamilton Hall
3489 Broadway between 142nd and 143rd Sts
Hiding behind a small storefront on Broadway is a sizable new space that will soon serve a wide selection of craft beers, cocktails and solid pub grub.

River Thai Cuisine (1766 Amsterdam Ave)
Harlem Wine Room (3454 Broadway)
Lyn-Genet's Kitchen (3473 Broadway)

I moved to Harlem 1yr ago two blocks from the Apollo and have seen changes in demographics. As with all all changes it’s good for some bad for others.

It's not gentrification, it's the cost of setting up shop in NYC is too expensive below Central Park. More eatries tend to open elsewhere either in Harlem or around soho areas where small storefronts aren't $30k+ a month.

its is gentrification because of the type of business they are setting up
artisan tea? cocktail bars? to whom do you think this businesses are aiming at?
