I love this place. I performed there the other day. Different music and spoken word and poetry nights. The food (Ethiopian plus delicious French style baked goods) is amazing. Really good!

This replaced Tonalli which was, frankly, not good. This place is SO MUCH better. Stylish. Nice hang. Good food and a relief from super trendy Harlem Public, which is kind of young. Nice bar too.
