Growing up in Jamaica I have a weakness for fresh seafood. A mile of seafood restaurants - what else is there to say. Well actually if you arrive to NYC by boat I understand the City Island docking is a cost effective option. Quick sail to under- appreciated upper East river waterfront. Give it a minute NY will finally get around to celebrating its full waterfront experience - and not just the around Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Yes, I think you just found my soapbox, dismounting quickly!

Let the burger wars begin! When Shake Shack came to Harlem locals thought it would be the end of home grown Harlem Shake. But David fought back against Goliath doubling down on the community vibe.
