Alvin and His Friends Have a New Clubhouse

Alvin’s Sweet Hang Gets Better and Brighter

New Rochelle– Alvin’s friends? You have a new hang.

Alvin and Friends popular New Rochelle restaurant has moved into spacious new digs at 14 Memorial Drive, the former Clubhouse Grill. It’s beautiful space, with streetside picture windows and an outdoor terrace for dining al fresco, if Spring ever comes.

The walls and the hallway to a party room showcase Alvin’s richly colorful paintings, and a nice communal table and large bar fill the front room. The food remains fresh and Southern and Caribbean inspired.

“We were bursting at the seams.” says the charming (well, he’s a former model, ok?)  Alvin Clayton. “We were turning people away” from the old space on Lawton Street.

Alvin and wife Gwen, who runs the Boys and Girls Club of New Rochelle, are helping to stoke the “new” New Rochelle.

The new Alvin and Friends opens April 10. Save me a seat.
