I searched the area for food and this came up. When I got off the train it was conveniently right across the street and very inviting. I was greeted warmly and ordered the hot veggie wrap and theor bottled Ginger juice. They have a very intimate yet spacious space. I sat amd waiting for my order. They do have a small pastry/muffin section, coffee options as well as very good looking lunch amd dinner options. The wrap was smaller than expected but it was so good. The ginger juice was delicious and very gingery. Next time, I will order cassava fries also, should I choose the wrap again if pressed for time. It's a really great vibe. I look forward to returning over and over again.

Some coffees make me jittery and feel on edge. The Moroccan mint tea is also great. The staff are very kind and accommodating.

The Edge's menu purports to blend "the flavors of Jamaica & England with a little New York…read moreattitude." My friend and I were excited to try the Jamaican side of the menu. We started with drinks. She ordered the passion fruit margarita and I went with the tamarind mango margarita. We were told the margaritas are made with a wine based cocktail instead of tequila or mezcal since the restaurant only serves beer and wine. We've never had margaritas made with wine before, which should have been our first clue to skip the cocktails. Unfortunately we were feeling adventurous and neither of us ended up enjoying our drinks. Mine lacked any hint of tamarind, had a subtle mango flavor, and tasted more like a mocktail. My friend said hers tasted like a tart beverage. We ordered the codfish fritters to start and they were a delicious appetizer. We shared the jerk chicken and pancakes and the plantain crusted crab cakes for our entrees. The pancakes were light and fluffy. Unfortunately the jerk chicken was a huge letdown. We were expecting authentic Jamaican flavors. As someone who grew up eating jerk chicken and has enjoyed the real thing in Jamaica numerous times, this wasn't it! I was also surprised to be served a chicken cutlet instead of an actual breast, thigh, or wing portion of chicken. We did not enjoy the chicken. The crab cakes were well done and topped with a stale tasting chip. The fried plantains that accompanied the dish were mushy. We did not enjoy this dish either. My friend ordered the housemade chocolate chip bread pudding, which she said had everything under the sun on it. She enjoyed it, but said it didn't taste like any bread pudding she had ever tasted. Overall, the restaurant's concept is cool, but not well executed. The service was good minus the delayed water glass refills. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were a huge disappointment!

For those not living in this neighborhood, Claire's is a rare spot adjacent to Central Park North…read morewhere you can sit down to relax for a beverage or eats after enjoying a stroll in the park's Harlem Meer, the Conservatory Gardens, or Northwoods. Definitely worth stopping by, bright with café tables outside suitable for good weather, you can enjoy here the surrounding view of New York apartment buildings from the 1910s. It's nice to have an independent, eclectic café nearby, especially with the large picture windows to let the sun in. Used to come here when I moved to the neighborhood more often for a coffee and small bite while working... that is when it was 1927 Café Bar Popular before whatever buyout and conversion to Claire's. That being said for me, honing my own home barista skills and noting Claire's food was a little pricey for what you got, had not been inclined to return for some time. In the interim, its interior has been tastefully redone with warm dark wood accents plus some new items are on the menu. Since I do like supporting local business, after spotting a promo on one of the apps, wanted to give their food another try. Some of Claire's dishes have Mediterranean influences, including Israeli origins. Ordered their "Signature" Pastrami Ciabatta (with Chimichurri, Mayo, Swiss Cheese, Sautéed Onion, Red Onion) and Sabih Malawah (a Jewish Yemenite puff pastry flatbread with Roasted Eggplant, Hardboiled Egg, Israeli Salad, Red Onions, Pickles, Tahini). Both were excellent choices (see pics) with the definite winner being the Sabih Malawah! Its tahini was with prepared with beets, served on the side. Not having had anything like Malawah before, found it delicate, flavorful, and really amazing! The Ciabatta, which I brought home to enjoy while working, was also fantastic. The ciabatta itself had the perfect tender, crispy crust allowing it to hold the delicious melded components. With friendly, attentive staff, I plan on returning to Claire's for eats more sooner than later. Recommend you check them out too!
