Uptown Evening Stops
Old-World Evening
Le Chéile gives Washington Heights a traditional pub stop with ample seating across two floors. Happy hour includes house beer and five-dollar wines. The kitchen serves pub grub and New American entrees, with corned beef hash available for 18 dollars. Monday through Wednesday service runs until 12:00 AM. The pub stays open Thursday through Sunday until 2:00 AM. Plan one payment for a larger group, as bills are not split.
Uptown Screen and Stage
United Palace seats 3,000 people in an auditorium framed by intricate, lavish interiors. Built in 1930 as a Loew's Wonder Theatre, the designated landmark was designed by Thomas W. Lamb. Updated sound and projection support Latin music concerts, classical performances, and screenings accompanied by live orchestras. Listed hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily. After the pub, choose a performance that fits the rest of your group's evening.
Uptown Waterside Finale
Fort Washington Park covers 160 acres along the Hudson River, stretching from West 155th Street to Dyckman Street. Its dual trail is shared by walkers, bikes, and stand-up scooters. Follow the shoreline to the Little Red Lighthouse beneath the George Washington Bridge, with wide river views along the way. The park is open daily from 6:00 AM to 1:00 AM. After the theater, the waterfront offers a final outdoor stop for your group.
