Around Inwood
Dyckman Street borders the southern start of Inwood, right along Fort Tryon Park, another massive greenspace. Anything on the edge of parkland is considered prime real estate. Proximity to Broadway is convenient but can bring with it noise and light pollution. The western side of Inwood is mostly residential with three streets of commercial businesses running through.
There’s no shortage of excellent food in Inwood where you’ll find a variety of restaurants on Broadway, Dyckman Street, and West 207th Street. Hookah bars and local Dominican spots abound, as well as fine dining options, like Bocaditos Bistro. But the bread and butter of the neighborhood is unassuming facades that house family recipes from generations ago.

The three main shopping streets are Dyckman, West 207th, and Broadway. Lined with mom-and-pop retailers, you’ll be hard-pressed to spot a big-box retailer in Inwood.

The farmers market on Saturday serves a sort of meeting place for the entire community, where familiar faces and fresh produce abound.
Starting the weekend in neighboring Harlem is a guaranteed delight. Try the iconic Apollo Theater for a show or stop in any number of dance-filled bars along Amsterdam Avenue. Once back in Inwood, opt for a glass of wine at Tannat Wine and Cheese. Or meet up with a group of friends at the spacious Garden Cafe, making use of the backyard if the weather’s nice.
Capitalize on the peaceful quiet as the sun rises over the Hudson River with a walk to the Inwood Park Hill Park Lookout. Enjoy brunch at the picturesque Inwood Farm, a local favorite and home to fresh ingredients, plus fantastic cocktails. Make your way to the crown jewel of the neighborhood, the Met Cloisters. Inside you’ll find breathtaking gardens and ancient religious artifacts. If you’re up for it, check out Inwood Canoe Club for an excursion along the Hudson River.
Traveling to this uptown oasis is a breeze on the 1/A trains. The BX7 and M100 buses both run regularly. For longer hauls, the Long Island Railroad makes a stop at the convenient Inwood Station before heading to Far Rockaway. Parking isn’t ample, but proximity to Henry Hudson Parkway makes accessibility out of the city a plus.
