Uptown Manhattan

The northernmost part of Manhattan’s New York City borough, Uptown Manhattan may not be considered a major center of tourism compared to Downtown or Midtown, but holds its own as a must-visit destination with its sufficient dose of cultural attractions and charming neighborhoods.

About Uptown Manhattan

Uptown Manhattan is situated between 59th Street and 155th Streets and comprises quite a few neighborhoods. It encompasses the affluent neighborhood of the Upper East Side, along with the more laidback Upper West Side. To the North sits Harlem, the capital of African-American culture and birthplace of Jazz music. So, while Uptown Manhattan does not possess the typical NYC vibe that draws large crowds of tourists, it’s still a location that’s rich in culture and the arts, offers fantastic views of the city, and gives visitors plenty of opportunities to be entertained.

Where to Eat in Uptown Manhattan

New York City neighborhoods are known for their vibrant culinary scene, and Uptown Manhattan is no exception.

Clay prides itself on serving local, seasonal, and community-minded food. They source all their produce from small, local suppliers, creating a genuine farm-to-table dining experience. At their dining room that resembles a posh living room, diners can enjoy dishes such as Steak Tartare, Duck Confit, and Gnocchi with Sausage and Fennel.

Moonrise Izakaya serves a unique izakaya experience with its creative take on Japanese comfort food. Popular dishes include dumplings, fried rice, katsu curry, and yaki udon which diners get to feast on while being surrounded by fun art, courtesy of Japanese muralist Shiro, who adorned almost every surface with her signature manga-style characters. 

Oso is the go-to place for authentic Mexican street food and cocktails. Its rustic décor, complete with Day of the Dead skulls set the mood for a tasty Mexican feast. Diners can enjoy tacos with their choice of carnitas, lengua, barbacoa, or camarones paired with cocktails like “The Taco Truck” –a refreshing mix of tequila, hibiscus syrup, lime, and chili salt.
