Open Streets of El Barrio: Restaurant Row

This summer, head Uptown with the family for a diversity of dining options — plus a welcoming schedule of weekend fun — at the Open Streets in El Barrio.

Every weekend through Labor Day, the Open Streets at Restaurant Row are programmed with street furniture for outdoor dining, games and sidewalk chalk, plus water play when the temps are high. Each street also features a daily schedule of Storytime in partnership with Harlem4Kids, Craft Time with local artisans and Live Music featuring sounds ranging from jazz to Latin to funk and more.

Lexington Avenue in the lower 100s is increasingly known as El Barrio’s “Restaurant Row” — with cuisines including Mexican, Brazilian, Thai and Italian, plus seafood, barbecue, juices, coffee and wine. Plus one shop each dedicated exclusively to mousse, carrot cake and ice cream!

The Open Street at Restaurant Row is located adjacent to these dining options, at 101st Street and Lexington Avenue. Activities run each Saturday:
Storytime with Harlem4Kids – 2 p.m.
Craft Time with local artisans – 3 p.m.

Live Music – 5-7 p.m.

Make sure to grab a meal before, during or after the fun from small businesses including Au Jus Oklahoma BBQ (Barbecue), Bar Goyana (Brazilian), Burritos y Mas (Tex Mex), Chu Ros Thai (Thai), Effy’s Kitchen (Mediterranean / Bistro), El Tepeyac Taqueria (Mexican), Frenchy Coffee (French Café), Healthy Frenchy (Smoothies), Lexington Pizza Parlour & Harlem Baking Co. (Italian), MY NY Bakery (Café), Naughty Crab (Seafood) and Plue Thai Kitchen (Thai). Plus dessert from Mojo Desserts (Mousse), Lloyd’s Carrot Cake (Carrot Cake) and Sugar Hill Creamery (Ice Cream), and something to sip from RWM Selections (Wine).
