Food Scene

super trendy restaurant/bar. extremely overrated in my opinion, expensive. But, if you must try the place with the biggest buzz, this is it.

great coffee shop. good pastries, nice staff, nice ambiance, great people watching. the house roast is a bit racy to my taste but the baristas are top notch and it's a high end experience. mid-priced.

fun retro-diner, great for kids. good shakes, decent burgers, outdoor seating, a little overpriced. if you want just as good a burger for 1/2 the price but no chi-chi go across the street to Jimbo's

most touristy soul-food restaurant in new york. in spite of that it's not bad and a good value if you order the right thing. I like the salmon cakes with 2 side orders. a historic piece of harlem!

Great sushi, but astronomically overpriced. mediocre service; 0 ambiance. maybe go for lunch when they run specials. For dinner it's simply not worth it - might as well go to a fancy midtown japanese
