Where To Eat In Washington Heights Near the George Washington Bridge

It feels good to be back uptown.

Earlier this year, I moved back up to Washington Heights, just around the corner from the George Washington Bridge; in fact, I’m two blocks away from an apartment that I lived in from 2010 – 2014, and from 2010 – 2012, I lived there with two other women named Al(l)ison. You can’t make this up. My nickname of “A3” occasionally pops up in chats with one of the two!

But! I digress. Let’s talk food.

The area of Washington Heights close to the George Washington Bridge is one – of – a kind, the section north and west of 181st and Fort Washington Avenue forms its own unique enclave overlooking the Hudson River. Many folks refer to it as Hudson Heights, a polarizing term coined in the early 1990s that many called a harbinger of gentrification; I’ll let y’all be the judge of that. When people ask me where I live, I proudly say “Washington Heights”, though I have used the “Hudson Heights” geotag on my Instagram photos . (Don’t worry, I’ve had unsolicited Instagram DMs from strangers about this before…😏) I encourage you to scroll through the history of this neighborhood, once also known as Frankfort – on – the – Hudson, because who doesn’t love getting sucked into a good Wikipedia wormhole?

Regardless of what you call this neighborhood, the food up here is amazing. There is something to satisfy any palate. Unfortunately, I feel so many of these wonderful spots are not on people’s larger radars. How many times have I told folks that they can take the A to 181st and have Dominican food, French food, Irish food, ramen, pizza from Grubhub’s Most Ordered-From Pizza Restaurant in America, luscious baked goods, Ethiopian-sourced coffee, exquisite craft cocktails, and housemade pasta from one of the city’s best Italian restaurants? Innumerable, and when I say it, I get the usual:

“That’s so far uptown!”

Then I’ll see them post a photo of themselves in Bushwick after taking the 6 to the G to the L to get there.

Just get on the damn A Train, lest you miss out.
