The Dyckman house is cool. You should go there. It’s been there forever. images of America did a book on Washington Heights and it’s included in that book along with other things that are still around. It’s kinda eerie to see streets that are almost empty compared to today.
Alexander Hamilton’s house is in Harlem. Technically not WH but close enough.
Fort Tryon is awesome to visit. Every year they do The renaissance fair (it’s free too). Close by is Inwood hill park.
You can take the trail starting from 125 st on the west side and end up in Dyckman. That’ll take you to the red light house along the way. It’s a nice trail. You can even go all the way downtown. There’s also a new pedestrian bridge around 157th.
Back in the old day, the Bronx used to provide water to New York City through a water bridge. They recently reopened the bridge and you can walk it to the Bronx and back. Not really much to do there except walk it, read the history located on the ground. It’s on Amsterdam but I can’t remember the street. Don’t go there when it’s cold because you’ll regret it.
If you have a dog, there’s a cool coffee shop where you can take your dog and hang out called Cafe Bark on 181st street towards the west side. Pretty awesome. We take our pupper there to socialize with other dogs. Dogs can roam around and sit on furniture. It’s really cool. You can also go down a little further to take the trail towards the red lighthouse if you want.
As for food, go on YouTube and search Washington Heights and you’ll see all sorts of videos on restaurants.
Let me know if this helps. I’m down for meetups too if anyone want to organize it.
