Harlem’s first agaveria! If you have to ask what that is, you might not be a tequila lover. No matter, the handcrafted cocktails and the ridiculously crave worthy traditional Mexican food will lure you in. We cannot get enough of the tacos on homemade corn tortillas, guacamole, queso fundito and la autentica margarita among others. Join us there for weekday Happy Hour, 5‐7pm.

When there is a restaurant in your neighborhood where the owner is also the Executive Chef and the sommelier, you must go. Chef Kfir Ben‐Ari knows a thing or two about French cooking having studied in Lyon, France at the Paul Bocuse school and working for Chef Daniel Boulud. RDV is Chef Ben‐Ari’s homage to eastern France and his Mediterranean roots with a touch of Middle Eastern and a whole bunch of his current home of Harlem.
