New Leaf

Harlem & Upper Manhattan


Nestled in Fort Tryon Park, a short walk from the Cloisters, this 1930s stone building feels like a country tavern. Settle in for market-fresh ingredients in bistro-style dishes such as salmon with seasonal vegetables or watermelon salad with feta cheese, kalamata olives and mint. If possible, grab a table on the all-weather patio for that garden-party vibe.
