"Quiet in Manhattan"

On a Saturday night in Inwood, I was once told that I would have to go into Manhattan if I wanted to purchase liquor. That sort of sums up how cloistered the neighborhood is. It really is quieter than the rest of the island, capped by the wonderful parks on three sides (Fort Tryon and Inwood Hill Park). It's certainly not the most happening place in New York, but the people are friendly and the commute, if you're on the A train, is quick. Grandpa's pizza is the thinnest slice I've ever had, and delicious. Good parking, easy access to Fairway if you have a car.
