          CAFE 2115--ANOTHER GREAT ADDITION TO HARLEM CUISINE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. CHARLES B. RANGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 3, 2008

  Mr. RANGEL. Madam Speaker, today I would like to introduce and 
recognize Cafe 2115 in my home community, an example of the dining and 
retail renaissance in Harlem, and to enter into the Record an article 
from New York CaribNews for the week ending March 4, 2008, ``Harlem's 
Finest with African Flavor.''
  Cafe 2115, recently opened at 2115 Frederick Douglas Boulevard, 
blends traditional African dishes with American fare and other 
delicacies from around the world. The owner, Abe Fofanah is a native of 
Sierra Leone, who came to the United States in 1998.
  People who live in Harlem now have multiple options for shopping and 
dining that do not require them to leave the community. This is but one 
example of the richness of new restaurants and retail outlets that are 
opening in the 15th Congressional District on a daily basis. There is a 
renaissance occurring in Harlem.
