Master Critic Review

Angel of Harlem 8.2
Morningside Heights
Angel of Harlem is a Latin- and Caribbean-leaning bar-restaurant where bottomless drinks, a DJ, and dishes like chicken & waffles and steak and eggs drive a party-forward brunch. It’s the move when the goal is music, crowd energy, and shareable plates rather than a quiet meal.
Must-Try Dishes: Buttermilk Fried Chicken w/ Belgian Waffles, Steak and Eggs, Guava BBQ Wings
