Before

0.4 mi · 8 min walk - Harlem

Open on Edgecombe Avenue since 2014, pulling Intelligentsia and pouring Kilogram tea, with pastries brought in from local bakers each morning. It sits at the foot of the Sugar Hill bluff where Edgecombe meets 141st. People work here for hours and nobody hurries them.

After

short ride recommended · 4 min - South Bronx - Melrose

The Stadium shadows this Gerard Avenue beer bar, open from noon every day of the week. There is a long draft list and a full kitchen. Weekday happy hour runs from four to eight. On a non-game afternoon it is quiet enough to sit and talk.
