Founding Father Foodstroll
What this foodstroll is
The ultimate afternoon in Hamilton Heights.
Why this foodstroll works
NYC fell to the British Army early in the Revolutionary War, and as a result, much of the iconography associated with that period in American history comes from places like Massachusetts, Virginia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. But as long as you accept the fact that we did lose some battles, a great deal of history can be found throughout NYC, especially in Harlem. In the middle of Harlem is the Hamilton Heights neighborhood and former estate of Alexander Hamilton, the wildly popular Founding Father and inspiration for Broadway’s Hamilton. But that’s just the start. Naturally we’ll be eating American food on this Foodstroll, and some of the best in NYC can be found here.
Strolling
1. Harlem Public
Transportation
There are several subway stations along 145th Street that service the 1, A, C, and D trains. There’s also a 1 train stop nearby on 148th Street.
Streetside parking and metered parking are possible in the neighborhood, but finding a space can be frustrating.
