Inwood’s Underrated Gem: Garden Cafe

Posted on January 2, 2024

BY Karen Silva

You can leave the Heights but the Heights will never leave you. For me, this saying rings so true, I have moved a few times within New York City but I will always return to my favorite spots growing up in Inwood. A few spots that I hold dear to my heart are Tubby Hook (formerly known as Piper’s Kilt), Yummy Thai, and Garden Cafe.

The Horror of Dolores Roach | Official Trailer

Posted on June 30, 2023

The Horror of Dolores Roach was a truly outstanding podcast series that had murder, mayhem, marijuana and empanadas to boot. It was a thoroughly enjoyable series set in our beloved Washington Heights. Well, guess what? The Horror of Dolores Roach is now an 8 part video series that drops on Amazon Prime on July 7. The very talented Justina Machado plays the lead role so we are hoping it is as good if not better than the podcast series.

After an unjust 16-year prison sentence, Dolores Roach (Justina Machado) returns to a gentrified Washington Heights, where she reunites with an old stoner friend, Luis, who lets her live and work as a masseuse in the basement under his empanada shop. When the promise of her newfound stability is quickly threatened, “Magic Hands” Dolores is driven to shocking extremes to survive.
