Food Scene
Ethiopian-Swedish chef Marcus Samuelsson's newest restaurant. Specialized in rotisserie chicken. They offer takeaway, but I would recommend eating in and enjoying great music and the old school Harlem hip-hop inspired theme.

Not so many people know, but the production line of famous UWS Levain Bakery is located on Frederick Douglass Blvd. Even though they only offer counter service and there is no seating in the bakery, it's definitely worth visiting. Their cookies, scones and banana bread are the best I ever had and you can always seat at the park and enjoy the sunshine.

Parks & Nature
You can get an amazing view of the neighbourhood by going all the way up the stairs to Morningside Drive. It's also a great place for jogging and playing sports, or if you just want to have a less touristy experience than central park.

Sightseeing
The best time to visit Columbia University is in the afternoon when the sun is shining. People come to hang out on the steps of Low Library and you can get a good feel of how student life goes in New York State's oldest college.
