A week on the northern tip of Manhattan in Inwood
Inwood is another one of those neighborhoods I felt like I just had to get to on the road to 52. The very northern tip of the island always fascinated me and I only ever made it up to the Cloisters on bike rides in the past. After spending a week with Bronwyn and Matt, my instinct about Inwood proved correct. The neighborhood plays host to some unique aspects of the island of Manhattan...

The Most Interesting Person in Midtown East -...
“Chicken” puts on one of the more entertaining and creative acts I’ve seen at a restaurant / bar. He incorporates his 350 flags into his custom designed costumes and will play music relating to your nationality once he figures it out - the night I was there he played German, Armenian, and Iranian music and had flags for each country which we waves as the music is played. The bar...

Amor y Amargo
My host took me to check out this relatively new cocktail spot in the East Village at 443 East 6th street. There are only 13 seats in the bar, and the cocktail making is an art form. You can simply tell the bartender a flavor you are in the mood for and they will whip up a unique concoction. They make their own bitters here and I’d highly recommend checking it out.
