Above Columbia University and so far west, a lot of people neglect this part of Manhattan, but I've lived here for 7 plus years and have many faves that keep me in my 'hood. Eat, drink, enjoy!
3143 Broadway (btwn Tiemann Pl & La Salle St), New York, NY

American Restaurant · West Harlem · 55 tips and reviews

3187 Broadway (btwn Tiemann Pl & W 125th St), New York, NY
Café · West Harlem · 26 tips and reviews
Adrienne Cooper: Since it's re-brand Kissaten has become a staple of the neighborhood. Offering Stumptown coffee, decent pastries & a great lunch/dinner menu there's a lot to love. Plus the staff is great!
Ramen Restaurant · West Harlem · 182 tips and reviews
Adrienne Cooper: Jin Ramen has been one of the most popular restaurants in the area since it's opened. Reason being the ramen is delicious, the service is efficient & the price is right!
Adrienne Cooper: A transplant from Syracuse and a long-time NYC fave, this spot has great BBQ food and a pretty sizable offering of great beers. They're great for groups and now have an event space for parties.
Cuban Restaurant · West Harlem · 38 tips and reviews
Adrienne Cooper: Great family spot. The flan used to always hit it out of the park, but lately it's been hit or miss. However, the homestyle Cuban classics always win!
Southern Food Restaurant · West Harlem · 108 tips and reviews
Adrienne Cooper: Great comfort food at this lone survivor from the Kitchenette team that was recently driven out of their popular Tribeca hub for rents too damn high! I wouldn't get delivery, but I would go eat in!
Spanish Restaurant · West Harlem · 6 tips and reviews
Adrienne Cooper: Never been to the actual restaurant, but if I need to cure my hangover woes I turn to Mofongo del Valle every time! The roast pork mofongo is the best, but you really can't go wrong!
Adrienne Cooper: I love this place! Love the smiling owner and my favorite drinks: Lemon Lozenge when sick, Hangover Formula, and then The Gift, Harlem Star and UPS for light lunches. The Green Apple is very popular.
New American Restaurant · West Harlem · 45 tips and reviews
Adrienne Cooper: Great brunch spot. Cute place with good food and coffee. Can get very crowded, but it's still a nice vibe, although a little tight with neighboring tables.
Supermarket · Manhattanville · 83 tips and reviews
Adrienne Cooper: In the last couple of years I've been more about CSAs and Farmers Markets, but if I go just to a supermarket, I choose fairway. Great selection & value, and their coffee is some of the best around!
Adrienne Cooper: This is a little further south than my other spots, but if I want a bagel, this is where I go. most people flock to Absolute Bagels, but those people are idiots. This is a CLASSIC NYC bagel.
Adrienne Cooper: I'm happy to have a Duane Reade in the hood for toiletries and things, but when I need to fill a prescription or speak to a pharmacists I trust these guys. Small & classic NYC pharmacy, brings me back
American Restaurant · West Harlem · 7 tips and reviews
Adrienne Cooper: A little more upscale than its surrounding spots, but the food is a little bit more high-end, AND given the views of the river, it makes sense. Nice spot for a special occasion or a date. Good service
Adrienne Cooper: Great local bank, with friendly service that makes you feel like a person and not a number. Plus, the bank as a whole has great philosophies about its staff and its money. Happy to bank with them.
