Manhattan Digest’s venture into the foodie world of Harlem continues with a fantastic new spot called Mumbai Masala Indian Grill. The new location, which is wedged between Sugar Hill and Hamilton Heights in Harlem, is the brainchild of Salim Rahman, who owned Tajmahal, Bay Leaf, and currently is the co-owner of Tikka Indian Grill in Williamsburg and Kew Gardens, and Amin Ruhel, who owned Tripti and Dipali.  The spot is brand spanking new, only being opened for less than a month now, and I was happy to take my friend and find out why you should take the C, B or D train uptown and experience it in all its glory.

One of the most vibrant and bustling areas of Manhattan is the Flatiron district, which boasts a gorgeous amount of architecture and fabulous restaurants to dine and dish with your friends and family.  Patisserie Chanson, located on 23rd street between 5th and 6th Avenue, is a fantastic new concept that brings unique and choice ingredients that you would get out of a classic European Patisserie.  I took my friend there the other day for this experience which literally transports you out of Manhattan and into the heart of European culture.

We have grown to absolutely adore and love Park Avenue Tavern here at Manhattan Digest.  This Grand Central-adjacent location has provided us with some of its heartiest and tasty American fare that we have devoured at each occasion we find ourselves there.  Last weekend, a friend of mine was visiting from Kansas so naturally I wanted to take him there to experience how great it is in all its glory.  Little did I know that Park Avenue Tavern has an off the chain brunch that made us giddy as myself when I find out that Chris Pratt is in town!
