i'm liking our new local restaurant
maison harlem more and more! it's convivial and unpretentious for a place that's already attracting celebrities. a few weeks ago we stopped by for a drink and whoopi goldberg was waking in just ahead of us. the food is good. french bistro. moroccan merguez sausage included as a fitting harlem nod to africa. i love it that one can hang out at the bar and drink coffee in the afternoon, diner style. you can get your own refill from a pot by the door, though the bartender is perfectly happy to walk around the bar and get it for you. you don't have to order whole plates- they'll just make you a couple of eggs if you you want- no problem. if you get a glass of wine they casually fill it up to the top- no oenophile affect here. very relaxed marriage of chic foodie elegance and casual neighborhood hangout. more pics
