Guidebook for NYC
Parks & Nature
Fort Tryon Park is beautiful with lots of walking/hiking trails, dog parks, and beautiful views of the city. If you're here in the fall, you must see the leaves change color!

Uptown Bourbon

There's no sign on the door, so you have to know where you're going...but this is one speakeasy that's totally worth it. Drinks are $15-20 but they're interesting, delicious, and the presentation is funky. Not the place to go for a Rum & Coke, but if you want to be surprised and delighted, this is for you.

This place has an UNREAL list of beers on tap. Probably at least 100. And the beers are all reasonably priced by NYC standards, at $6-8 per beer for some pretty fancy/rare brews.

It may seem strange to add this to Drinks & Nightlife, but if you're looking to save some $$ and make your own cocktails, PJ's has the largest wine/liquor selection I've seen in NYC and I know people who go out of their way to come here for the discounted prices.

Getting Around
We are very close to 2 subway stations: the 4/5 train at 125th Street and the 2/3 train at 135th Street. The 2/3 is much closer walking distance to us. We also live nearby the 125th Street-Harlem Metro North Station.
