I was struck with shock and sadness during a recent stroll down Harlem’s legendary 125th Street, only to find that one of my beloved uptown eateries had closed it’s door.

I have already told you how much I enjoyed Brunch at Yard Bird – Miami’s up and coming most buzzed about restaurant… Some are already calling it the next Prime 112, a 2011 Burgers & Bourbon Restaurant of the Week.

It’s always a treat when I get to stop by my neighborhood go-to restaurant Sylvia’s, but the other day I rolled through at happy hour to see the fabulous Miss Judy, the restaurant’s manager and, in my personal opinion, director of VIP clientele!
