//The line

Per Tripadvisor reviewers, BLVD Bistro's Harlem soul-food brunch draws crowds large enough that staff are described as 'managing long lines of people waiting to be seated'; the same reviews advise booking a reservation because the restaurant 'regularly gets packed.'

Those Tripadvisor reviews single out midweek as the less-crowded alternative to weekend brunch. The restaurant takes reservations through Resy — per its own site, boulevardbistrony.com, and its Resy.com venue page — rather than OpenTable.

Weekend hours run Saturday 10am-11pm and Sunday 10am-8pm, per boulevardbistrony.com, spanning the soul-food brunch window that reviewers describe as the restaurant's peak crowd period.
