Chef Marcus Leung, previously of Blue Hill at Stone Barns, has opened Hearthside, a farm-to-table restaurant in Harlem. The menu highlights seasonal produce sourced from New York State farms, with an emphasis on sustainable practices. Hearthside replaces a long-vacant storefront on Frederick Douglass Boulevard. The restaurant is currently open for dinner service, and reservations are recommended.

Leung stated in a brief interview that the goal is to bring elevated yet approachable cuisine to the neighborhood. The opening contributes to a growing number of locally focused dining options in Harlem. Hearthside joins other recent farm-to-table efforts seeking to balance quality with community engagement.
