"Beans and Vines, Inwood. A fan since Beans and Vines opened their doors in 2010, it is my favorite kind of place: unassuming, perfectly intimate, and delicious. Parked between a deli and an often-changing storefront, one could almost miss this tiny gem between 203 and 204 on Broadway. Beans and Vines serves a fusion of international food, offering a mouth-watering menu and a frequently changing wine selection (beers on the menu, too). They also have delicious coffee hence the name: Beans and Vines. For a long time, they would heat up the milk in my coffee (without me asking), so my regular cup of joe would be extra hot and amazing. It was love from then on out. It’s the spot for dates. The spot to bring your family. The spot for a good meal and friendly conversation."
