The lowdown
Marcus Samuelsson always seems to be working on a dozen different projects — it’s possible he never sleeps — but no matter what else he has going on, his Harlem flagship remains the focal point of his ever-changing business empire. To his credit, Samuelsson seems determined to make the restaurant as approachable as possible, keeping prices relatively gentle, while offering expansive menus that should have something to please locals and tourists (lured by the chef’s celebrity) alike.
