125 Business Spotlight Connecting to Wellness
|
| |
|
The number of wellness offerings in our district has been growing. In addition to pharmacies and other traditional health service providers, alternative medicine and holistic service providers are finding a home on 125.
We had the opportunity to catch up with one of our new businesses on 125th Street
Here's an inside look at
"My Wellness Solutions"
17 West 125th Street
 When did you come to 125th Street?:
"In November of 2014"
Why 125th Street?
"We knew that once we opened in the Bronx that Harlem would be our next stop. 125th street made sense because it's a central location to Harlem and has a great foot traffic which helps for business exposure."
How has your experience on 125th street been thus far?: "Amazing! We've had great success and the community is really receptive for our services."
Message to community:
"We focus on cleansing....weight loss, digestive disorders, acne, asthma, allergies, etc. We're really excited to be here and we look forward to serving and partnering to make a healthier Harlem." - Indhira Santana

New Store at Former M&G Diner
Harlem's oldest diner shut down 5 years ago and has been vacant until now at the corner of 125th Street and Morningside Avenue. The owner of the building did a great job restoring the facade and retaining one of the iconic signs out front but whatever the lease was going for did not attract another food establishment. Rumors that at sneaker shop would arrive now...... View Site

Morningside Heights, More Than a 'College Town'
Those who are skeptical of the idea that New York could be considered a college town might change their minds after visiting the Morningside Heights neighborhood on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
The neighborhood, which runs from West 110th Street to West 125th Street and has about 40,000 residents, is bracketed by a pair of dazzling parks, Riverside and Morningside. But there are many other open, leafy spaces, in scattered courtyards tucked inside school walls. Some, like Columbia's large, bustling quad, are open to the public.
