Inwood

Northern tip of the Island. The closest New Yorkers will ever get to upstate and still not find parking. Many visitors will find themselves getting lost on an upward climb to a medieval castle called, The Cloisters. They will write a postcard to their mother, sigh, and come back down to where the people live. Here, home is so much more. Inwood offers panoramic views of the Hudson and Harlem Rivers, an amazing annual (although softly illegal) Fourth of July fireworks show, a historic farmhouse, farm-to-table cooking, craft beer, the best reading spots in New York City, and a friendly and diverse community well-versed in the uptown art of waiting for the A train.

The cheapest flight to Europe around. What are the words? Impressive. Magnificent. Perched in Fort Tyron Park, it's fancy and formal here: archways, splendid gardens, highly detailed and beautiful unicorn tapestries, hands clasped among statues, bright lighting, and generally an awe-inspiring experience. The Cloisters, dedicated to medieval art, hardly needs an introduction as the most well-known gem of Inwood and a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. If you live in Inwood, you can come to the Cloisters and just hang out. Sit in the gardens, relax, and enjoy the space-time continuum. And no, it never gets old.
