The Cecil Competitors

Nestled within the heart of Central Park, Tavern on the Green is a legendary New York City landmark offering timeless hospitality and refined American cuisine. Our hearty, seasonal menu—crafted from local ingredients—invites guests to gather, celebrate, and experience the vibrant spirit of Central Park and the energy of New York City. Originally designed by Calvert Vaux and built in 1870 to house the park’s sheep, Tavern on the Green has welcomed presidents, royalty, artists, and visitors from around the world since opening its doors as a restaurant in 1934.

'Sylvia's Restaurant, located in the historical village of Harlem, is a world famous restaurant founded by Sylvia Woods, the ''Queen of Soulfood'', in 1962.'

Established in 1984. We are primarily an online Quilt Shop featuring 100% premium cotton fabrics carrying full collections of Fossil Fern fabric, Paula Nadelstern's kaleidoscope collections and Fusions Mist. We also have books, notions, patterns, kits, fabric packs and so much more to meet all your quilting needs. We also carry the very popular Ecolux LED Strip Lights, with or without a USB adapter. It all began as a mail order business over 30 years ago placing 2" x 2" ads in the Quilting Association Newsletter. Initially you belonged to a "club" - The Cotton Club, The Hoffman Club, The Jinny Beyer Club and each month you'd receive a 4" square sample of a fabric, or a fat quarter pack, depending upon which you desired to build your stash. By 1995 we began to move the business onto the Internet. We do have a store, so if you wish to walk in rather than order online, we "allow it" :) However, keep in mind we do not keep the usual retail business hours.
