Food Scene

Famous for great coffee and desserts. But secret is BREAKFAST! Amazing food, very healthy and generally shorter wait than other bunch places on the weekend. (No bacon or sausage though, FYI.)

Really good, inexpensive italian food. It's cash only and everyone working in the restaurant is Italian. But there's a reason there is almost always a line!

Our favorite neighborhood Sushi restaurant. Good sushi, good service, good price. (Not high end -- try Haru or Momoya further down Amsterdam.)

My favorite Thai / asian fusion restaurant, and probably my favorite restaurant overall in the neighborhood. The food is very good, the service is efficient, and it's not too pricey.

Very good, more high end vegetarian food. Have had a two celebrity sightings here -- it's that type of place. The dress here is a little more "smart" than many of the other restaurants.

The one and only. This burger and shake place is incredibly popular, and incredibly good. But expect to wait. A LOT. Lines of 30+ minutes and out the door are common.

This is one of my grandmother's favorite restaurants. She's lived here on the upper west side since 1928. It's good, traditional American food, and not too loud.

The is my grandmother's other favorite place. It's quiet and the food is very very good. It is an older crowd, but a true gem. Bonus: there will not be a tourist in sight -- except you!
