Mobay Uptown

A few good reasons to hop, skip, and troop uptown: pineapple corn muffins, mango mojitos and live jazz band to keep all your senses—taste, olfactory, hearing, and otherwise—buzzing. Fairly upscale preperations sans snoot meets neighborhood chill like only Harlem can manage. Old school, classic New York dining destination with legit kitchen cred that has yet to be ruined by tourists or Columbia students. Worth the trip if it's what you're craving, though weekend nights can get a little hectic.
