Harlem Bespoke: Some might be wondering what the hours for Teranga at Africa Center are all about these days since the location is mainly closed for most of the week. The January update is that the Harlem location will be open on weekends starting at noon and so that is definitely the time to drop by for some fantastic African offerings. Uptown has a lot of African restaurants especially in Central Harlem but Teranga by 110th Street on Fifth Avenue has had critics raving all over Manhattan since opening in the beginning of the year. Chef Pierre Thiam has a big reputation as far as West African cuisine is concerned and the new casual dining spot with views of Central Park makes everything really accessible in a museum like setting.
