This is 3 stops uptown on the 2-3 train, 15 min door-to-door. A well-known Harlem restaurant with live music on Monday nights from 8pm. Downstairs is a speakeasy atmosphere, with vintage leather couches and Herman-Miller chairs, very cool. The food can be heavy but you'll find unusual offerings here, worth a trip.

Extensive menu and beer selection. Food on the order of burgers and fish tacos, but too many such options to remember, and all with a local flair (not generic). Lively atmosphere, and many TVs if a sports or other event is taking place. Try the beer, muscles (large bucket), and fries special for $16.
