‌In New York, if you want to make it in the restaurant or bar biz, you have to be unique. So a lot of places will do things to try to make themselves different from the average bar or restaurant. Enter, the Game Room Bar. These bars & restaurants offer different types of games you can enjoy during your visit - from giant jenga, to arcade games, to the classic board game, you can expect to have some fun competition with whomever you're enjoying your time out with. These bars & restaurants are great to go to with groups of friends, or on a date. You'll be able to enjoy good food, drinks, & lots of fun while you're there! Most of these spots have a bar-like atmosphere, but I've included one that's more of a cafe, in case you're not always looking for a night out!

‌Soul food & jazz ❤️ I don't really recommend Harlem as a neighborhood to stay in during your visit. It's super local & it's a little rough around the edges, but it's safe to visit and amazing to eat at. It's really famous for jazz music, live music, and soul food. It's full of history and it's one of my favorite neighborhoods to grab a drink & a bite at. This map contains my favorite soul food restaurants, a steakhouse, and a couple of great spots to watch live jazz. This is a living map, meaning, when I discover any new spots that I love, I'll add them in & you'll automatically get the updates!
