This unassuming eatery using its location as its name is a hodge-podge of treats for the eyes, mouth and spirits. Go for the eclectic world foods, stay for the art and soft rock music. Should a pick-me-up be in order, their full bar will not disappoint. Order the Cabrini martini three times fast! You will become the master of alliteration.

Don’t be alarmed by the pile of cares and worries at the door. That’s just how it does down at 809 Bar & Grill! Once inside all you can do is celebrate and enjoy the food, live music, DJ and fun atmosphere. Invite friends to dive into the full bar and Latin menu and then onto the dance floor. Caliente!

This eatery welcomes you to Senegal. One of the original restaurants on 116th St, the hub of Harlem’s West African community, Kine has moved further uptown for more space.  Your first bite? Try the national dish, Thiebou Djeun, “fish and rice.” Be ready to eat!

Wait, there is a place that specializes in that Puerto Rican/Dominican carbohydrate goodness?! Brilliant! Put that diet on hold and head over for mashed garlicy green plantains mixed with whatever you want. Just the name alone will make you smile or at least go, “hmmm”. You know you want it! Stop playin’!
