One of Harlem's long-standing fried-chicken joints may have served its last meal.
Yesterday, Eating in Translation posted an e-mail from a long-time employee of the 125th Street's M&G Diner which said the joint was shuttering.
We called over to M&G to find out if the news is true, but we weren't able to wrangle out a definitive answer.
The woman who answered our call said that every year the restaurant takes a vacation for the month of July.
"All I can say is that we're on vacation, like every year," she said.
When pressed about whether the restaurant would return to business come August, there was no yes or no answer to be had.
"One day you're up and another you're down, so who knows?" she said. "All I'm sayin' is we're on vacation."
