Angel of Harlem is aptly named and a welcome addition to "South Harlem."  I thoroughly enjoyed brunch there with my hubby.

I'll admit that I boycotted Marcus Samuelsson's first venture in Harlem, Red Rooster, because, despite all his acclaim as a chef and all the great reviews the restaurant had received, I felt like Harlem didn't need another soul food place.  Not even a trendy, fusion-y one.  So, when I saw the sign for Streetbird and discovered this was another Samuelsson spot, I was skeptical, but decided to give it a try because it wasn't just the standard fried chicken, mac and cheese, greens, candied yams, etc.
