Amazing fried whiting. VERY slow. But if you're looking for fried fish, this is MUCH tastier than that fish place next door that smells so good. Definitely call ahead with your order.

Don't go here. Guidebooks recommend it reflexively, but the portions are tiny, and the food is relatively bland and expensive.

Considered the best seafood in town. The place celebrity chefs go after they get off their shifts. Make reservations. If you're not into seafood, their baked goods and bone marrow are excellent.

BRUNCH! Rarely a wait. Classic diner with really delicious, reasonably priced, large portions. You can walk it off in Central Park afterward, too.

This is a great place to go if you decide to explore uptown of here. Brunch starts at noon but is wonderful. $22 for a carafe of mimosas. Great beer selection. Try the beer float or Kobe burger.

If the hustle of NYC is getting you down, DON'T miss the Cloisters at Fort Tryon. Beautiful views, very cool medieval art, and peace. Also this lovely restaurant, which sells glorious hot chocolate.

You are so lucky you can eat at Jesus Taco. They're cheap, quick, and super delicious. They deliver for free over $8, and everything, right down to the tortillas, is made from scratch.

Excellent tiny restaurant. French food made by a Japanese couple at Harlem prices. A group of four can eat, with apps, plus two bottles of wine for ~$150. A treasure of uptown.

Drinks & Nightlife

A fun bar that's only open in the summer, great for visitors. They always have a neat art installation going. The Met is entrance by donation, so you can get up there for 25 cents if you want.

There is a restaurant/bar here called Tian which serves sushi rolls for $6 and has a four hour happy hour most days, plus great views of the Hudson and the GWB. Slow service, but cool.

Sightseeing

Such a strange and magical place. Get there by subway. Take the elevator up or you'll get lost. Walk through the park and enjoy the mysterious peacefulness that soaks the Cloisters.

Don't even dream of getting their cupcakes here. They're awful and overhyped. Go to Sunshine or get Baked by Melissa instead.

You may be under the impression you need to get cupcakes while you're in New York. These are the most fun. Tiny, and stuffed with fun fillings.

The first sign of summer in uptown are the little silver Coco Delicioso carts, which you'll always find on the street here. $1 for a dixie cup with coconut and cherry ice. Only in uptown NYC! So good!

Shopping

There are actually a bunch of these and the closest is up at 147th on Broadway. This is a great place to get any incidentals at "normal" non-NYC-marked-up prices. Like Chinatown for us up-towners.
