Fast Food
| Amir's Falafel | Broadway, between 113th and 114th Sts. (212) 749-7500 |
A long-standing favorite for a quick Middle Eastern falafel and the like. Inexpensive and good. |
| Columbia Bagels | Broadway and 110th St. (212) 222-3200 |
Go directly to Columbia Bagels, do not pass GO, do not collect $200. No seating. |
| Famiglia Pizzeria | Broadway and 111th St. (212) 865-1234 |
Serves delicious pizza. If you like spotting famous people go and see who has eaten there in the past. |
| The Hungarian Pastry Shop | Amsterdam and 111th St. (just across from the Cathedral) (212) 866-4230. |
A favorite spot for the famous, the studious and the neighborhood die-hard. Serves croissants, cheese brioche, pastries and desserts, plus a large selection of coffees and teas, both hot and cold. |
| Koronet Pizza | Broadway between 110 and 111th Sts. (212) 222-1566 |
Serves a slice so big that if you strapped one on each arm you would have, well... they're BIG. Very good pizza, nevertheless. |
| Strokos | Amsterdam between 113th and 114th Sts. (212) 666-2121 |
Nice deli and seating area |
| The Wrap Factory | Broadway at 111th St. (212) 665-5870 |
Serves burritos and wraps, and has 'gourmet' wraps, but if you are into that, don't try the shepherds pie. |
Restaurants
| Bengal Cafe | Amsterdam between 110th and 111th Sts. (212) 662-7191. |
Standard Indian food, they serve Indian Sunday brunch. |
| Caffe Taci | Broadway and 110th St. (212) 678-5345. |
An Italian restaurant famous for its Opera Night, wherein opera singers belt out their favorites over dinner. Note: Some find the overpowering voices inspirational; others, just plain overpowering--caveat emptor! CASH ONLY, NO CHECKS. |
| Caffe Pertutti | Broadway and 113th St. (212) 864-1143 |
Well-done Italian fare, with good bread to go along. Large selection of desserts, for after-dinner or to go. Try the Eggplant Sorrentina... CASH ONLY. |
| Camille's | Amsterdam and 116th St. (SE) (212) 749-2428 |
Lots of pasta, with an Italian twist. Burgers are worth trying, too. |
| Columbia Cottage | Amsterdam and 111th St. (212) 662-1800 |
A Chinese restaurant, also with Shanghai menus. Another well-regarded eatery. See if they still serve free wine. |
| Deluxe | Broadway and 113th St. (212) 662-7900 |
Another of the new crop of restaurants on the Strip, this faux-diner's service has improved dramatically in the past 6 months. |
| Dynasty | Broadway and 110th St. (212) 665-6455 |
Another busy Chinese restaurant, perhaps a notch above Ollies in taste and decor. Has lunch specials, plus the steamed sole is very good. |
| Le Monde | Broadway between 112th and 113th Sts. (212) 531-3939 |
This bistro has a great wine list; the outdoor area is a great place to see and be seen. Oh yeah, the food is great, too. |
| Nacho Mamas | Broadway between 112th and 113th Sts. (212) 665-2800 |
Mexican food. The wings are worth revisiting. The Margaritas are the real draw, and rightly so. Occasional DJ parties on Thursdays and Saturdays. |
| Ollies | Broadway and 116th St. (212) 932-3300 |
Poised at the main gate, this Chinese spot is always busy. Solid, if unremarkable, Chinese fare. Eclectic assortment of non-Chinese favorites. |
| Symposium | 113th St. between Broadway and Amsterdam (212) 865-1011 |
This incredibly long-standing restaurant serves Greek fare. Mixed reviews for the food overall, but the good items are REALLY good. |
| The Heights | Broadway between 111th and 112th Sts., above Samad's Deli (212) 866-7035 |
Great addition to the strip. Inside and rooftop dining area, and a nice bar. Excellent brunch menu, to boot. |
| Mills Korean Restaurant | Broadway between 112th and 113th Sts. (212) 666-7653 |
The only Korean fare on the strip, quite good, especially the inexpensive lunch menu. |
| The West End | Broadway between 113th and 114th Sts. (212) 662-8830 |
Another bar posing as a restaurant. An old Columbia stand-by, once frequented by the famous Beat Crowd gang in the 1940s. Favorite of undergrads, especially Greeks. |
| Tomo Sushi & Sake Bar | Broadway and 111th St. (SE) (212) 665-2916 |
Newish (and only) sushi place on the strip. Reviews range from quite high praise to barely disguised scorn. Try it once and judge for yourself. |
| Tom's Restaurant | Broadway and 112th St. (212) 864-6137 |
The quintessential American diner. Featured in Seinfeld and in a rather good song by Suzanne Vega. Unpretentious food, fast service, no better recommendation. |
| V&T Restaurant | Amsterdam between 110th and 111th Sts. (212) 663-1708 |
Family style Italian restaurant; their pizza gets rave reviews! |
