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.
King of the hill. In a quickly changing city, it’s amazing to see a farmhouse perched in the middle of a New York City street. Built in 1784 and opening as a museum in 1916, the farmhouse is a standout historical destination in Inwood. Get ready to feel country by sitting on the porch, walking through a lovely garden, and touring the modest home. The farmhouse often plays host to live music and events for the family. Visit and learn something new. You'll love it. Admission is a buck for adults and free for children 10 and under, so if you don’t go, you’re basically a jerk.
