Harlem Tavern is where you go to watch sports, listen to throwback tunes, and drink beer with your entire friend group. This place has a big indoor space with a bunch of TVs, which unsurprisingly feels like a tavern. There’s an even larger outdoor area with more TVs and long tables that feels like a beer hall. (The latter is completely enclosed and heated in the winter.) Their sizable menu is full of sandwiches, a surprising number of salads, and bar bites. Skip the average burger and get the bone-in fried chicken with thick, fluffy waffles or the gumbo that’s loaded with different kinds of seafood.

Melba’s is a spot in Harlem with some great fried chicken, catfish, and waffles. Try it for a casual meal, and get a side of mac and cheese.
