Picture it: a house made of monfongo…walls made of garlic and mashed green plantain and each room a different savory addition like a chicharon bathroom, a bacalao bedroom and a pernil living room. No? Well, venture over to the real La Casa del Mofongo and take your pick, or one of the other menu items. The dream is real!
There are few restaurants in Manhattan that sit directly on the waterfront of the Hudson. This is one of the best! Perched at the end of Dyckman Street this 75,000 square foot location can be as social (the beach) or as intimate (private dining) as you want it to be. Dine on the mostly seafood menu or just enjoy a margarita while you watch the sun set behind the George Washington Bridge.
Le Chéile is a Gaelic phrase meaning “together” and, together, there is no place you’d rather be than this traditional Irish pub perched within a stones throw of the George Washington Bridge. Craving bangers and mash? Come here. Need a Sheppard’s pie to warm your cockles? Come here. Fish and chips? Irish stew? You know what to do!
If you are a burger connoisseur or simply just need to get your weight up for a walk around nearby Fort Tryon Park, Locksmith has an open door for you. Stroll on in and get a burger and wine or cocktail for a reasonable price. That’s good, easy living in your neighborhood.
Lolo’s might be the new kid on the block, but, man, do you want to be invited over for dinner! And you are every night (except Monday). Try one of their seafood steampots or sandwiches using housemade bread called ‘bake’. Add the lot of housemade condiments while you unconsciously sway your hips from left to right to the sounds of reggae music before doing your “happy food dance”.
The name alone makes you want to sway your hips to each syllable. Don’t stop there! Keep swaying to the beat of the lively atmosphere while you sip on signature cocktails and bite on Nuevo Latino dishes. Whether tapas and sangria afterwork or mimosas with your Sunday brunch Mamajuana is calling for you.
Tokyo meets Santo Domingo without the need of a plane, boat or an MTA train, for that matter, at this fusion sushi joint. Yes you can get miso soup, edamame and spicy tuna rolls. However you are not living unless you try one of the inventive house rolls that include ingredients like bacalao, yucca fries and plantains. “Salud” and “kanpai”!
If you didn’t know any better you would think this quaint space is where the cherubs, fairies and nymphs of Fort Tryon Park dwell. However, the modern American menu will soon bring you back to reality. Whether brunch with friends, an intimate dinner or a private affair, turn over this new leaf and see what it has in store for you.
Go south of the border on Dyckman. This is not just any Mexican restaurant. Papasito turns up tacos with short ribs, turns out quesadillas with lump crabmeat and lobster and turns on your taste buds with everything else. Enjoy dining al fresco over fresh guacamole and specialty cocktails. Now kick up your heels and shout, “Ole”!
Stop and think about your favorite thing you like to eat at least times a week, but don’t like to cook it…Got it? Ok, now go, call or go online here, order said dish, wait, eat and smile. Know that your food comes from an eco friendly place. Yes, it does exist in your neighborhood.
