CUNY’s East Harlem Restaurant Guide

Posted on by Harlem Shill

CUNY has come up with a somewhat pedantic restaurant guide for East Harlem.

They’ve covered most of the bases, but oddly have some restaurants that haven’t been open for 2 years now and others are located firmly in Central Harlem. It seems surprising that they didn’t check whether or not the restaurants were still in business, and you wonder if they really know the geography of East Harlem?

Nevertheless, it’s worth checking out to see if some of your old favorites are there, or if something new worth checking out is listed:

Ebay has a postcard of City College, with eye popping color and wonderful framing under a gothic arch.

The request (to South Dakota) to exchange postcards, is charming:
