NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of 103rd Street Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

Was a nice cozy and warm, welcoming was fantastic. Seating was quick. Food was excellent. However, table are very tiny seating are very tight. Music was nice was expecting more. No one singing just playing on instrument player was professional not up to my test.

Let’s start with the good part: the atmosphere is incredible. Red velvet, candlelight, and live jazz so close you can feel the bass through your glass. The cocktails are top-tier, and the food easily outperforms what most music venues even attempt. My crab cakes were crisp perfection, the salad was fresh, and the service stayed calm even with a packed house. Now for the part that ruined the vibe. The mandatory entrée rule. I came for drinks and small plates, happily spent several times the cost of an entrée, and was still told I had to order one or leave it uneaten. It felt like a cheap money grab at a place that otherwise screams class. Nothing kills the mood faster than being told your perfectly good dinner order isn’t “enough.” I still respect the music and the kitchen, both are excellent, but that policy left a bad taste I can’t ignore. Three stars. Great night, unnecessary greed.

There's no other Jazz Club like Smoke. I've been going there for years before the renovation. It maintains it's status of elegance, great management, good food and service. I go to many jazz clubs that honestly aren't excellent in all these categories. The musicians are some of the greats. Thank you for maintaing your excellan e.

We went to Smoke Jazz & Supper Club last night and had an incredible time. The show was absolutely amazing, especially the Monk tribute, which was unbelievable. Both the food and the performance exceeded our expectations. We had the octopus, NY strip, and coq au vin, and everything was cooked perfectly. Such a great experience all around.

I enjoyed my visit here! They have a very large menu with both Peruvian and Chinese cuisine. The drinks are strong and delicious. I really enjoyed the egg foo young

A classic old school Chinese/Latin restaurant. Not too many left in the city. Been going here about 25 years. Great food and service. Strong drinks. Outstanding lunch specials also.

I found this restaurant because I was looking for Peruvian Chicken and boy did this place exceed my expectations. This is a Chinese/Peruvian fusion so their menu is quite extensive. My family of 5 loved everything they ordered, service was friendly and timely. Would definitely come again!

I absolutely love the food at Flor de Mayo restaurant. The service was great and we received it fast. The food tasted fresh and was hot. They have a wide selection of food, and all the dishes I have tasted are delicious. It’s hard to locate parking, but I highly recommend it when in the area. It’s a must try 😀

Florida De Mayo has been a staple of the community. It's one of the few still standing. It's been there more than 20+ years serving the community their Chinese Latin food. Part Peruvian and Chinese this location has something for everyone. Regardless of your preference you can not go wrong at this location or their sister location.

5/5 Ethiopian food!!! I’ve now been here three times in the last two years, and have traveled from all over Manhattan to come eat at this Awash! I love their Kitfo and vegetarian sampler platter. I’ll have to keep coming back so I can try everything on the menu! This isn’t fast food and it’s meant to be enjoyed slowly, so don’t eat here if you’re in a hurry.
Julie Berger - 4 months ago

Great but BEWARE! Google says open at two P.M. but really they are not open until closer to 2:45-3pm! And then, if you arrive right, when they have opened, you will be smelling cleaning chemicals for 45 minutes. It gave me a headache. No such problems in the evening. The gluten-free injera is really good. I only eat a vegetarian meal, I usually get the vegan sampler, but the 7 different options are quality. The service is good, the staff is very nice, and this is one of my favorite places to go for Ethiopian food in the city. 🇪🇹

We’ve been going to both locations for decades and last night, for the first time, we went for Valentine’s Day and it was perfect! They did a little decorating (cute, they made an effort) and the special kitfo with vegan sampler was the best. The service was especially sweet and she was really working so hard and it was packed — the grace under pressure was worthy of recognition. Thank you, Awash!
Christina D'Angelo - 3 weeks ago

04/23/25 Started with the tella (a honey wine, coffee and jalapeño cocktail) and Timatim Fitfit for an appetizer. We had the awash chicken and the Yatakilt Alicha. Everything was incredible and fresh and flavorful. Prices were reasonable and service was good. My first time having Ethiopian food, it couldn’t have been better.
Luke Azevedo - 10 months ago

Awesome food! I love that you get to eat with your hands! There may be a cultural disconnect with the way that they wait on you but they are very respectful and nice with smiles! Get the platter with meats and veggies! So good!

Cute, quaint spot. The customer service was great. What we initially came in to try wasn’t available but I was not disappointed with my visit. The food was absolutely delicious. My sister who dislikes ham thoroughly enjoyed her quiche Lorraine. I enjoyed the croque madame. I do wish the side salads had dressing. The caramel macchiatos were some of the best coffee I’ve had in a long time. The crepe was perfect balance of tart and sweet.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff was also very attentive, with reasonable prices. However, we had 4 different steaks and unfortunately while they were all cooked perfectly the actual quality of the meat was quite low and none of us enjoyed it. This could have been a one time thing however I have to mention it. That being said our appetizers were delicious.

I was looking for a quiet place to have a nice glass of wine and a bite to eat. After a beautiful concert at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. After trying a few different places that were way too loud, I found Cafe du Soleil. The host tonight was Miguel. He was so gracious and welcoming. Even though I just wanted a little something, he showed me to a beautiful little table outside that is inside a plastic bubble! Very cozy and private. It was the perfect quiet experience to have a glass of wine and some delicious escargot on Broadway in New York City! I will be back, for sure. Very grateful to Miguel for the welcome.
Walker J - 4 months ago

What an amazing discovery. Great atmosphere, wide menu selection, welcoming and professional service. Every dish we tried left us curving to return for more. My personal surprise was a blood sausage. I tried plenty of them cooked Slavic style, but one we had in Cafe du Soleil - best of the best!!!

Very good pizza! They have a lot of flavors and the people there are very nice! The space, even though is a little small, is nice and clean!
Maria Esther Frigo - 2 years ago

I selected one square cut and one traditional slice. The pizza was just ok. Crust was good and baked well, it’s the sauce! It’s weak. Not very flavorful! Add some marinara to help and more parimson cheese
John Mccraney - 3 years ago

Enjoyed the coffee and the chat! Pizza came hot, quick service, and I really liked the clean atmosphere. Will be back!

I'm originally from NY, but have moved to NC. I came back for my grandson, who had heart surgery across the street and was hoping for some really good pizza. This place didn't disappoint - it was really good! What I do have a problem with is bait and switch. Online prices are given, and when you walk in, the prices above, on the board match. I ordered, and what should have been $12+tax, turned out to be $18+tax. When I asked the girl at the register who, "only works here", she added that the actual prices are in their take away menu stacked on the counter. She also added that it was brought up weeks ago by another customer, and it's up to the owners to change the pricing and address the issue, not her. I have no problem with paying for anything that is clearly stated by the establishment whatever it is that they charge. As a consumer, we make choices based on how much, and do we want it? There are hundreds of pizza places - WHY NOT be diligent and up front with your customers? It's deception and poor business. Pizza, good. Pizzeria and customer service, not so good. If ever back in the city, I'll spend my hard earned money on another place that has more integrity and honesty. ☆And, girl at the register, MAYBE suggest patrons look at the actual menu on the counter that's next to the register, with current pricing, and not at the above the counter and online pricing. You work there, do your job!

Wow, I think this is the best NY cheese slice I've ever had. Definitely my new favorite triangle slice (my fav square being L&B Spumoni gardens). So glad it's close to me on the UWS. Those guys in there are real New Yorkers, too. Super nice and generous, but gritty. I guess I'm converting from Patsy's🫢
Angela - a month ago

Honestly, I was a bit disappointed when I came here. I had looked at this place online to find a nice spot to eat with a friend to celebrate something. I had seen a lot of high rated reviews, many saying how this was “a rather iconic place in the upper west side,” and had high expectations for this place, but didn’t have the best experience. The place felt rather small and crammed, with only a few places to sit. Besides that, the food didn’t look the most appetizing. It was alright, but I had expected better. I’d probably look somewhere else for good pizza.

Sal and Carmine Pizza has the best pizza I have ever had. The aunts were fighting over the crust and they don’t even like crust! Even my grandma who has a very strict diet made an exception for this sublime pizza. Sal and Carmine is celebrating its 68th anniversary! If you like pizza, even if you have dietary restrictions, TRUST ME, you will love 🤩this pizza! Would HIGHLY recommend!

Sal and Carmine’s on the Upper West Side is a true gem for pizza lovers! I ordered a pepperoni and sausage pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. The pizza was generously topped with a rich, flavorful sauce that perfectly complemented the savory toppings. The crust had just the right amount of crispiness—light and airy but still with that satisfying crunch. What makes this place even better are the fair prices, especially for the PIZZA SIZE you’re getting. If you’re in the neighborhood and craving an authentic New York slice, Sal and Carmine’s is definitely worth a visit! Also! The place boasts a huge interior space and a lot of seating too!

Sal & Carmine Pizza always hits the spot! To me, their pizza is underrated (which I don't mind because that means fewer people haha). Compared to all of the pizzerias in the neighborhood that sell *street pizza* they have the best. The sauce is a perfect balance of sweetness with savory. You can tell that they use fresh mozzarella. The crust is not too thick and not too thin either. If you want that crunch, ask them to heat your slice for a bit longer than usual. My bf and I always stop by to chat with the pizza maker and cashier. Both are great guys. We've never had a bad experience or a bad slice/pie. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely stop by to get a slice. You won't regret it. P.S. They're selling icees for a dollar (2 big scoops) you can't beat that deal, especially with this heat.

I gave a 4 because of the customer service but food overall was really good, the interior is nice, cool and chilled. The Steamed Thai dumpling were amazing and tasty, the pad kee mao was very good and I asked for mild, the kow soy was good, not too spicy at all, chicken was very tender and the sauce was flavorful and creamy.
Bridget Ortega - 6 months ago

I got take out after craving some real street style pad Thai like you get in Thailand. This was definitely not it. The noodles were slightly overcooked/mushy and no peanuts. Also they didn’t cook the noodles in the sauce seems like they added separately. Many reviewers love this place so I will have to try again and order laab or kra pao. Sorry to disappoint. Best Thai restaurant in US is Larb Zaab in Quincy, Massachusetts. I dream of it and for me, nowhere outside of Thailand compares.

Overcast Sunday random walk-in got us here. The place was not busy and we got an amazing window seat and got straight to ordering which included Kow Soy ($17.95), Vegetable Curry ($17.95) and, Curry Rice ($2.50) - a side portion which was enough to feed our little one! Food overall was inline with expectations; nothing spectacular, but not disappoint either. Not much spice kick, but the Kow Soy was packed with flavor and the Vegetable Curry, not so much! Decent portion sizes too. Service was slightly slow, but food arrived within 25-mins of ordering. Noise levels on the lower end. Will visit again for sure!
Ameya Bhakay - 10 months ago

BEST thai restaurant I have ever been to in America simply phenomenal in my opinion. The duck was outstanding and even with all the the sauce it was so crispy and melted in your mouth the meat was so tender and the curry sauce was so creamy. The appetizer was also really good and the filling was very tender and juicy. The GPKD was also great and spicy however quite salty. Highly recommend.
Jane Ahmon - a year ago

The food is always great. The staff are very friendly. With Covid-19 they have screens between you and the people next to you. They also have outdoor seating. The Tiger is an appetizer but they also have the flank steak which is almost the same but better and more. Have to go with the green dipping sauce very spicy, made with lime. It’s so good!! The mo pin grilled pork strips with spicy tamarind sauce, is a must.

The smell of authentic Indian incense and spices hit our noses upon entry. The calming and inviting atmosphere was immediately welcoming. Our table was in a corner with each dinner linen folded to perfection at each place setting. We shared many dishes for the table including chutney Raita, Pakoras, garlic shrimp, Barry Kebab, Lamb biryani, Malabar (salmon) Fish Masala, basmati rice, garlic naan (baked to perfection). All of the sauces for each dish were creamy, rich, flavorful, with just enough spice to savor every bite. The drinks were incredible. Mango margarita was smooth and delicious. The spicy mango margarita was made to order and spicy how I like it. And the Sauvignon blanc was crisp and dry for dinner. Delicious. Always a guarantee at Manhattan Valley. Always.

The food at this restaurant is delicious. I ordered the Chicken Korma, and my wife chose the buffet — everything was very good. The service was good overall, even if it could be a little warmer, but nothing major. The decor is quite average. That said, we come here mainly to eat well, and that’s exactly what we did. There are also vegetarian options available, which is a real plus. I recommend this place and will most likely come back.

Random walk-in to try their lunch buffet on a Sat afternoon got us here. Old skool Indian restaurant; dated interiors, old bar that still serves Indian classic cocktails, and a buffet that surprisingly manages to justify its $21 price tag (half-priced for kids under 6). Poonam, our hostess got us seated and we went straight to grabbing our food, Their buffet selection was limited, but felt perfect. Snacks included Samosa's and Chicken Pakoras with a tasty green chutney, and mains focused on dependable classics like Aloo Gobi, Saag Paneer, and a rather bland Dal Makhni. They had one Indo-Chinese mains - Fish Chilly, and non-veg mains included Chicken Tikka Masala, Goat Curry, Chicken Kali-Mirch. They also had Biryani Rice and Choley Bhature, but the Bhatura's were very thick and disappointing. They served naan and rotis on the table and the staff was friendly. Restaurant had a good amount of foot traffic throughout our stay! Will definitely be our local go-to-Indian restaurant in the neighborhood!

Was looking for Indian places to eat and had lamb biryani at this joint. They use halal meat. I wish the lunch hour deal could be extended till 4 pm. Went again for the lunch buffet and it’s a solid deal, highly recommend!

I ordered a few items from their vegan options menu online for pickup. A few moments later I received a call asking to confirm the Garlic Naan (the only non-vegan item on my order). This was very considerate of the restaurant - they wanted to make sure I did not make a mistake on my order. Beyond that, this act confirmed that they actually do cater to and look out for their vegan guests. The food was delicious, fairly priced and ready on time. I will be ordering from them again :)

It’s standard. Sometimes, you want and need standard. Pros: beef patty (and by that, I mean they serve it) the biggest dining area in the hood w/AC cheap slice they got ice cream open late wings are an option… feels kind of dirty Con:

2 cheese slices with a soda that comes with it was $8 not bad. I loved that they had monster there too😅. One of the best slices in the area. I will bring my family here it was really good.

Perfect diner setup on the UWS. Walked-in at prime time on a snowy Saturday and got seated right away. Arnie, our server, was friendly and welcoming. Our order included small coffee ($2.95) with unlimited refills thanks to their attentive staff, California Omelette, Berry Waffles, and Huevos Rancheros. Food was as per expectation, pretty tasty and perfect portions! Noise levels on the lower end, easy to have conversations, and bright ambiance. Will be our go-to diner!

Went Twice with my husband and we absolutely loved our food. One of our orders did come back wrong but they quickly fixed it and sent us a fresh order. Very accommodating!! So cute for a classic diner spot , not expensive at all!

If only they were open late. It’s solid diner fare. Nothing is amazing but nothing is bad either. The pastrami is above average for a diner. Burgers are solid as is most breakfast. It’s $$$ for what it is. Weekend breakfast will be packed, especially before noon. Service is fast, indifferent and efficient.

Best burger and amazing turkey roast 😍 Not to mention the cakes 🤤 and fantastic location, feels like being in a 80s film 🤩 10/10

After a doctor's appointment, we wanted to eat breakfast. We google to find a place and this was the result. There was no wait time. The server was quick to serve coffee immediately. The location was clean, and the decor was nice. Tje food was served quickly, and it was good. I will definitely return.
