- The Resident Gamer (via the Greasy Guide) gives us an insider’s look at the V.S. Harlem gaming lounge previously mentioned.
- Checked out T&J Bakery and Cafe the other week. Didn’t get a chance to try their baked goods but I did take a good look around. The establishment is spacious and inviting with plenty of gallery space where they will be featuring the work of local artists. The location is perfect since there are no other businesses of that kind in their area and there is plenty of foot traffic from the nearby subway, school and Met supermarket. The owners boast that they "prepare on-site gourmet breads, cheese cakes, fruit tarts assorted butter cookies, danish as well the traditional southern style cakes and pies." Their signature dessert is "the Carnegie Torte, [a] creamy marble cheesecake with a layer of chocolate mousse, smothered in chocolate." T&J is located at 2541 Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Blvd. (7th Ave.) at 147th Street. (212)234-5662.
- Tried Harlem Wing and Waffle. Review
to follow.
- Tried R&D Grill. A family run restaurant where there seemed to be more hanging out then serving of food. Unfortunately the day I dropped in their refrigerator went out so it was a little chaotic. Not sure if they will be getting a second chance.

- Still working on the site redesign. You will love the new look!
- Who knew that Earl Monroe’s is now called the River Room? I’d heard that there was a disagreement with the partners but wasn’t aware that he had completely separated from the company, including taking back his name. As of today the old website refers users to The River Room
however the new site is not live.*

Wow I didn’t know Earl pulled out of that deal. I hope the restaraunt is still as good as was when he was involved. The cool thing is that he was there when I went, just talking to different patrons - how often do you see that?

I tried T & J Bakery last week and the baked goods a excellent and a good value for the money.
