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.
Friendly staff, good beer, and a fresh deli selection to hit the spot. But, if you're asking me, it's all in the seating. Single people of the world love a place to grab a bite and sit down, cafeteria-style. Part-time deli, part-time craft beer fridge, Park Terrace Deli is the spot to eat while obnoxiously observing college athletes depart from the nearby track and football field. 'I could run like that,' you lie to yourself, while enjoying three eggs and cheese on a plain bagel. You might buy you cereal here, you might get a panini for later. Who knows? Then an Allen hospital staff member comes in, probably just off saving lives, and orders a salad. Whatever, you love bodegas. You'll buy an apple before you leave.
