Where I’m Eating: A Café on the Hudson River
When one visits Harlem for Happy Hour, one should make that trip to Hudson River Café. I rarely do the cheerleader voice for restaurants but in this instance I had to step outside myself because this spot actually offers the best of three worlds: Plenty of outdoor space, food and low happy hour prices. The evening started with sipping happy hour drinks on the patio while people watching as a group of teenagers celebrated their friends graduation from high school (*the amount of fist pumping…). Hunger took the best of us so we made our way indoors for some much needed guacamole (*served three ways) and seafood fettucini (*a little too heavy on the spice factor, but satisfying none the less). I appreciate a place like Hudson River Café, where I did not have to change locations after happy hour to get food that would satisfy my cravings and those around me. The menu and atmosphere offer the diversity that the Big Apple is famous for…I’ll fist pump to that!
