And there’s a decent chance you know someone who’s recently moved there; in 2018, the New York Post reported that Washington Heights is drawing millennials back to Manhattan from Brooklyn. A 28-year-old law student with two roommates in Washington Heights. A 46-year-old private equity exec and dad of two, from Cos Cob, Conn. A 44-year-old college dean, who traveled all the way from.
I enjoyed my Guinness beer. Good customer service. And the food was tasty. Great atmosphere. Last night was my first time going there. On a Monday night the place is full, definitely coming again. :)
Had a late lunch after a visit to MET Breuer. Love their sweet potato fries!
Excellent pizza, a decent beer selection, and usually a good music selection, too. Kid friendly!
Pizza is great, sangria is great. I don’t love their wings, but they have a great $4 presidente draft special!
Fantasic atmosphere that manages to be both cozy and hip at the same time. Great prices drinks during happy hour and fantastic flat breads. Great for a night in the heights.
They change owners every few months it seems, but for the most part the menu stays the same. The food is so-so, but sangria and wine is always on point. Knowledgeable bartenders too!
The chorizo quesadilla is amazing! And there are always great beers on tap.
The menu includes cow heart skewers for the brave and pork belly with charred dates for the slightly less adventurous. For those who prefer more classic bar snacks, the nachos ($12) are very good. Read more.
Blueberry hot wings was a shocker. Great selection of craft beers, nothing generic and excellent prices. The staff was very friendly will be returning

This see through glass bar is nice addition to all the restaurants on the strip. No food just drinks and a couple of tv's. A nice place to bring a few friends or just one. D.j. On weekends not big.
Best Drinks on the Dyckman strip. Ask for Iran (Shes hott!)
Don't miss the gyoza appetizer: Absolutely divine. Fantastic ramen with perfect noodle texture. Had the Shio Ramen but will go with Shoyu Ramen next time.
Glad to have this place in the neighborhood. I had the spicy ramen and it was excellent. Looking forward to go back. Now all they need is delivery!
Got classic shio without scallions. Pork was pretty good, broth a little salty for me. Quick service, Cute small ramen place in hud heights
Like so many crazy stunts, it reportedly started with a bar bet.
On September 30, 1956, Thomas Fitzpatrick (below), a 26-year-old steamfitter from Emerson, New Jersey, was drinking at a tavern on St. Nicholas Avenue in Washington Heights.
For reasons that appear to be lost to history, Fitzpatrick bet another bar patron that he could get in a plane and land it in Washington Heights in 15 minutes.
It’s not clear if he made the time limit. But he did get a plane, a Cessna 140 two-seater stolen from Teterboro Airport, and flew it to Manhattan, where he landed it on St. Nicholas Avenue and 191st Street at 3 a.m.
Despite being drunk, Fitzpatrick “brought it down safely between six-story apartment buildings,” wrote The New York Times in 1958.
The plane “landed on a street with lampposts and cars parked on both sides,” a witness told The New York Times in a 2013 article. “It was a wonder—you had to be a great flier to put that thing down so close to everything.’’
Fitzpatrick told police that he brought the plane down in the street (below) because he had engine trouble, but they didn’t buy it. Originally charged with grand larceny, Fitzpatrick eventually paid a $100 fine.
That wasn’t Fitzpatrick’s only aeronautic feat. While drinking in a Washington Heights tavern on October 4, 1958, he told a patron about his previous Upper Manhattan plane-landing experience.
When the patron refused to believe him, Fitzpatrick drove with the man to Teterboro, secured a plane, flew it to Upper Manhattan, and landed on Amsterdam Avenue and 187th Street at about 1 a.m.
“Yesterday’s incident surprised and frightened residents and motorists who heard the plane descending,” wrote the Times. “The craft touched down, taxied a few yards and stopped in front of a Yeshiva University building.”
That second landing scored him six months in jail, after which as far as anyone knows, he never tried to fly to Washington Heights again.
