Amazing fried whiting. VERY slow. But if you're looking for fried fish, this is MUCH tastier than that fish place next door that smells so good.
Definitely call ahead with your order.

Don't go here. Guidebooks recommend it reflexively, but the portions are tiny, and the food is relatively bland and expensive.

Considered the best seafood in town. The place celebrity chefs go after they get off their shifts. Make reservations. If you're not into seafood, their baked goods and bone marrow are excellent.

If the hustle of NYC is getting you down, DON'T miss the Cloisters at Fort Tryon. Beautiful views, very cool medieval art, and peace. Also this lovely restaurant, which sells glorious hot chocolate.

Excellent tiny restaurant. French food made by a Japanese couple at Harlem prices. A group of four can eat, with apps, plus two bottles of wine for ~$150. A treasure of uptown.

The first sign of summer in uptown are the little silver Coco Delicioso carts, which you'll always find on the street here. $1 for a dixie cup with coconut and cherry ice. Only in uptown NYC! So good!

There are actually a bunch of these and the closest is up at 147th on Broadway. This is a great place to get any incidentals at "normal" non-NYC-marked-up prices. Like Chinatown for us up-towners.
