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.

Family style Italian restaurant can be packed on the weekends and generally suitable for large groups; but outdoor seating in good weather and a lively bar scene make splitting a simple pasta and salad with a bottle of chianti very pleasant as well.

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.
