HARLEM HEIGHTS
If you are like us, you have been spying the subway ads and transit bus boards for the new BET cable TV series Harlem Heights. We have not had a Monday night free to catch it yet, but judging from the folks in the ads, the series seems to take a narrow racial view of what’s happening in the hood…where are the Latinos? Anyway, we plan to give it a try. We found one early blog reviewer who was less than wowed.
ORGANIC FOOD THAT'S EASY ON THE WALLET
We love organic food, but find ourselves a little short of cash when it comes to making this stuff a regular part of our diets. Now, there is help. West Harlem Community Supported Agriculture is setting up a program to being organic food from upstate farms to West Harlem.
To be eligible, you donate a couple hours work helping to distribute the food and then you get a discount for yourself, which is based on income.

NEIGHBORHOOD NUNS
The HH Herald takes hats off to our neighboring nuns in Morningside Heights who have a new vision for St Hilda’s House they hope will be habitable by 2010. Their plan is to build a new “green” convent on an empty lot at Convent Avenue and 150th Street. They are taking environmental impact into account in all phases included how they power the convent, to how far the materials have to travel that are being used in construction.

CUBAN SANDWICH SEARCH CONTINUES
Finally our search continues for the Best Cuban Sandwich in Harlem Heights. Your humble reporter throws down his vote for the Cuban Sandwich at Mi Tierra’s at the corner of Broadway and 146th Street.The sandwich is garnished with a good garlic sauce…the pickle is optional and the price is fantastic. I grab a café con leche with it. The Cuban sandwich and coffee comes to 5 bucks…talk about a recession special!
