Baton Rouge in Harlem
BATON ROUGE IN HARLEM
[Excerpt…]
"All of our dreams were realized the day the doors opened and we were able to provide for our neighborhood," says Jones, co-owner of Sugar Hill. "We designed the house to be a true community gathering place with the jazz lounge on the first floor, dining room on the second, and community space on the top two floors; we wanted our neighbors to think of this space as their own."
Sugar Hill Bistro served the Harlem community well, but its doors have long been closed. Now another eatery and gathering place has come to take its space on 145th Street–Baton Rouge, a New Orleans style restaurant and lounge. Real estate broker Brian Phillips of Sotheby’s International Realty sold the Sugar Hill building to its new owners Sheron and Joe Barnes, who before bringing MoBay Uptown to Harlem, first launched MoBay, a popular Brooklyn-based Caribbean eating place. With Baton Rouge, Sheron and Joe have opened what will certainly be another colorful culinary treat.
