Harlem Bespoke: We were checking out some of the carved townhouse elements in the Hamilton Heights Historic District and noticed one very decorative Star of David just around the corner from Convent Avenue. This might be a Christian reference or another possibility could be that one of the builders had been Jewish during this time period when brownstones started to appear all over the former countryside of Harlem. Regardless of the reason, this star with a spring floral motif was a lovely discovery and is rarely found outside of church or temple architecture uptown.

Harlem Bespoke: Another reason to drop by Ginjan Cafe on 125th Street at Park Avenue is the fantastic new African dishes being featured as a special daily. We dropped by earlier in the week and Yassa chicken was being served up in in a seasoned rice bowl or delicious wraps. We love the food at Teranga further south but now Ginjan might just be offering something even better each day.
Our personal view of bland wraps also changed because of this experience since the crispy grilled version found here is truly next level.
