Whether they're right up against the river or perched high above it, uptown's waterfront dining options all have one thing in common—enviable views of the Hudson.
Not to mention menus that offer both light bites and larger plates, plus a wide range of summery cocktails.
To help you find your favorite, here's the list from south to north:
Manhattanville West Harlem Piers, W 125th Street at the Hudson River
This floating bar and restaurant is located on a decommissioned U.S. Navy ship moored at the West Harlem Piers. Look for casual pub grub like wings, lobster rolls and sunset-ready cocktails including the Captain's Colada and the Portside Paloma.
Hamilton Heights 679 Riverside Drive (inside Riverbank State Park, entrance at W 145th St)
Head to Harlem's Riverbank State Park to find this festive Puerto Rican restaurant—its menu includes six types of mofongo, plus margaritas, Sofrito punch and red or white sangria—with a large outdoor patio featuring impressive views of the GW Bridge.
West Harlem 743 Riverside Drive between W 151st and W 152nd Sts
Located on a balcony overlooking the Hudson River, this new outdoor cafe is currently only open on weekends (noon-6pm), serving up coffee, light bites like pastelitos, and dessert.
Inwood 348 Dyckman St at the Hudson River
This top spot for sunsets is located right on the riverfront, offering a casual menu of burgers, lobster sliders, salads, as well as drinks like the summery Aperol spritz.
