You didn't know you needed a Belgian mousse bar in your life until you visit Mojo (177 E 100th St between Lexington and Third Aves), a new spot in East Harlem serving up five different flavors of the fluffy dessert.

The brainchild of Belgian chef Johan Halsberghe, the week-old shop is set up like a luxe ice cream parlor, offering mousse by the scoop–$3 per small-but-rich dollop–served with a signature gold spoon....

Fans of chef Pierre Thiam's fast-casual take on "African grandma's cuisine" can finally make a night of it at Teranga, his year-old fast-casual eatery inside the Africa Center at 1280 Fifth Avenue (between E 109th and E 110th Streets).

The restaurant, which used to close in the early evenings, just announced it is open until 9pm every night (Tuesdays through Sundays).

• A developer's contested plan to rezone Lenox Terrace cleared another hurdle when the city's Planning Commission voted in favor of the changes.

Harlem is getting its very own Krispy Kreme shop—one of a handful coming to New York this year.

The iconic doughnut brand, which announced it was building a 4,500-square-foot Times Square flagship last year, has decided to add five more stores to the city in 2020.

Other locations besides Harlem will include the Bronx/East Fordham, the Upper West Side, midtown and the Financial District.

Wouldn't it be nice to celebrate the end of Dry January–the monthlong break from booze coming to a close this weekend–not with a string of mediocre drinks, but with one great cocktail?

Luckily, Harlem has an increasingly wide array of intimate bars where you can sip on a truly well-crafted drink. From south to north, here are five to check out this Saturday–or any day you need an escape from the ordinary....

This year Valentine's Day falls on a Friday, a notoriously difficult day to find reservations at a sought-after spot. And if the restaurant is small, the odds of getting a table are even harder.
