5:30PM PDT: Two hours until Phish takes the stage and everything here is very laid back. Drinking my first Sierra FOAM and it’s delicious. There’s maybe a couple thousand already

As a quick housekeeping matter of interest, I’m thinking I’ll stick with this new music theme for my turns on the Friday Mix Tape from here on out. Since we don’t really do a whole lot by way of album reviews, it seems like a good way to help get the word out on quality new releases. Plus, it’s a lot of fun to put together and folks seems to like it. If you ever have anything you’d like to see included, you’re welcome to shoot me an email at ryan@glidemagazine.com. Alright, now to the tunes…
This week, we kick off with one of my absolute favorite songs of the year called When You’ve No Eyes by Alec Ounsworth, one of the driving forces behind Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Ounsworth killed it on his solo debut Mo Beauty
Over the last couple of weekends, I have been exploring different parts of Harlem, taking in the nice weather and heading to parts of the neighborhood that I hadn’t been to in a long time. One of the streets that I have been enjoying walking up from Central Park North (110th St) is Lenox Ave aka Malcom X Boulevard. As I was walking, my hunger started building up and it was then that I stumbled upon a hidden treasure, Edmonds Cafe.
The number 1966 in the top left corner is NOT the address of the restaurant, it is the year that this small family owned and run business opened in Harlem. Sure, when you think of Soul Food in Harlem Sylvia’s and Amy Ruth’s come to mind. Those two places are well known, with a large following amongst locals and tourists alike and most times have lines of people waiting to get in.
However when it comes to the real deal, you know the kind of place that people stop in after church or for a quick family meal, my money, palate and hunger keep on bringing me back to Edmonds. My last two trips to Edmonds were both on Sunday afternoons and it was nice to see most of the people who were coming in greeted by their name with the staff/family who own and run it asking questions about their guest’s families, treating them like they are part of the extended Edmond’s family.
