A new traditional American spot has opened for business in the neighborhood. Called Alison, the fresh arrival is located at 1651 Lexington Ave. in East Harlem.
The restaurant offers healthy takes on classic breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes. On the menu, look for a veggie sandwich with avocado, tomato and mozzarella on multigrain bread; a grain bowl with arugula, chickpeas and mushrooms; and homemade bucatini with a vegetable sauce. Lattes, cappuccinos and espresso are also available.
The fresh addition has proven popular thus far, with a 4.5-star rating out of 11 reviews on Yelp.
Chris E., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Sept. 17, wrote, "This is a new restaurant in Spanish Harlem that is fantastic. The burgers, sliders and sandwiches are mouthwatering just thinking about them."
And Mallory A. wrote, "What a gem! It's a new place, so I think the kinks are being ironed out, but that certainly doesn't compromise a great vibe, a friendly staff and a decent menu."
