Harlem Bespoke: We were feeling very nostalgic for red velvet cupcakes lately and headed over to Loretta Alston’s namesake specialty bakery on Lenox by 120th Street.  Red velvet was everywhere when we started blogging over the decades but has since become harder to find these days and most offerings are pretty basic.  Not at L.A. Sweets!  Everything at the boutique shop is baked freshly within hours and is hands down the most super moist cupcake we have had over the years.  Our red velvet experience was absolutely on point with flavor and the cupcake was still warm with the cream cheese icing just whipped on top per order.

Harlem Bespoke: We had another day date at Silvana on 116th Street last week and tried out the Shakshuka eggs that were on the menu. This little cafe located just west of FDB/8th Avenue is the best bet for some of the better Middle Eastern offerings to be found uptown and the day’s selection did not disappoint.  The baked eggs simmering in seasoned hot tomato sauce was served up on this cast iron pan which provided a great contrast to the rich colors within. There was overall a flavor not dissimilar to chili to the dish which had pops of saltiness thanks to the juicy olives and the welcoming chunks of feta cheese.  A side of pita was also provided to sop up the extra sauce of this specialty that spice lovers should definitely try out.

Need more reasons to check out this cool cafe?  In our past post, we also had the most amazing hummus at Silvanna which is also worth trying out: LINK
