Morgan’s Best of the Upper West

The BEST (and strongest) frozen margs on the UWS. Head there for happy hour before a show.

Cute wine bar close to 72nd st. I’ve been told it’s a great first date spot.

$$$ and classy. This is a “take your parents out to dinner” spot if you’re trying to show them the best of NYC.

Classic sweet treat spot if you want a cupcake or banana pudding to prolong your date.

For a late night drink to continue your night out at a super casual/ semi-divey but safe bar.

Three words: table side guac. Perfect place for dinner pre-concert.

A sister bar to the Gin Mill, also a laid back late night drink spot.

If you want THE BEST view of Columbus circle and Central Park as well as hear the best jazz musicians in NYC, head to Dizzys for a late night set.

Humble but delicious Italian food that is a staple on the UWS.

A NY classic.

Brunch, lunch, dinner- The Smith has a bit of everything for the eager performance goer.

Admittedly this one is closer to Columbia University, but if you can get there in the morning, these pastries are world class.

Keep it simple and get the burger or tomato soup. Steps away from Lincoln Center.

World class venue where you can see all the best performances in NYC.
