Not Just For Breakfast
While rushing down 7th Avenue the other day I happened to spot two new eateries that I hadn’t noticed before. The first was The Harlem Wing & Waffle. They specialize in, what else, wings and waffles. This contemporary eatery is located between 139th and 140th Streets, across McDonald’s and a couple of doors down from Make My Cake. It has an orange interior with stainless steel accents. They already seem to be a hit in the neighborhood. Once we find out more about Wings & Waffles you know it will be featured here on UPTOWN flavor.
The other place was the R&D Grill on the opposite side of the boulevard, not to be mistaken with the Harlem Grill. The R&D Grill is a typical take-out spot where you step down off of Seventh Avenue into the narrow diner to order breakfast all day (including waffles), lunch specials or dinner from the "hot open flame grill." Some of the items from the grill include steak (T-bone or Sirloin), chicken, turkey wings, ribs and grilled salmon with sides. The prices are reasonable ranging from $2.50 for a burger to $12.50 for a flame grilled steak with sides.
On the take out menu they inform us that the restaurant was formed by "two gentlemen who love good food with a heavy hand on the portions, even down to the hearty sandwiches." Be forewarned, they also set the tone for the type of restaurant they run "music, television or light conversation on the topic of the day in a clean comfortable, no hurry environment." Keep your credit cards at home because they are only accepting cash at this time but they plan to be equipped for credit and debit cards in the future.
The Grill is located at 2311 Seventh Avenue and their hours are 8-8 seven days a week. They also offer free delivery. Call for more information 212-234-2334.

Oh, you don’t know how much you’ve affected me with those waffles. And wings, too.

Hi there,
I just saw this Times story and thought of you.
This reporter is not yet familiar with Uptown Flavor, apparently! Would be great to let her know of all the culinary options here…
Cheers!
