Northern tip of the Island. The closest New Yorkers will ever get to upstate and still not find parking. Many visitors will find themselves getting lost on an upward climb to a medieval castle called, The Cloisters. They will write a postcard to their mother, sigh, and come back down to where the people live. Here, home is so much more. Inwood offers panoramic views of the Hudson and Harlem Rivers, an amazing annual (although softly illegal) Fourth of July fireworks show, a historic farmhouse, farm-to-table cooking, craft beer, the best reading spots in New York City, and a friendly and diverse community well-versed in the uptown art of waiting for the A train.
Scrumptious and adorable. This is your favorite daytime coffee house.
Generally speaking, one should never describe another person as perfect. It lacks understanding of complexities, it's a pedestal nobody can live up to. And yet, what if a person feels this way? Is it correct to say, 'I love you?' If Dyckman Bakery were a person: 'I love you.' This bakery is just so damn good. The coffee is perfect and to die for. The traditional Greek paper cups are perfect. You know, the one you have a ceramic version of. The treats are affordable in a city that is not. The bakery is comfortable and familiar when too many storefronts and approachable faces are disappearing. You need to come here. Not for me, for you. For love. Always for love.
