Okay, so going by borders that are Nagle, Hudson, 155th, and Harlem River, I did a quick search using an internet site called Yelp. There are "entry" bars you can put at the top. For the top left, I wrote "Restaurants" and then for the other part I wrote "Washington Heights" at first, then realized that it goes quite a bit over Nagle. Instead, I changed it to go from Broadway and 173rd and then used a "filter" for distance of 1 mile. This sometimes goes a bit over especially a few blocks south of 155th street, but if you look at the map where they point things out, you can "filter" things with your own eyes! Here is a link with the parameters in the url string I used.
I also took the liberty of listing a few that were good with most being places I've been to before. This is a good start for you, but if you need additional help, let us know! The board is here to help!
Rue la Rue Cafe Golden Girls - themed cafe that serves well done, but pretty run of the mill American food that's done well.
Tampopo Ramen This is ramen, not Dominican style and not a chain.
It's interesting that you don't have more Kosher places listed. There is a Jewish population in Washington Heights, albeit a small one.
There are more, but the ones that do/did exist aren't or weren't very good for the most part. The list I posted was not exhaustive and perhaps I should have very clearly stated that. However, if you need help using the Yelp website, I think we can do it!
One note to my previous post--if you want to figure out if a place is not Dominican or not a chain, you will have to also exercise a bit of judgment. The Dominican part might be a bit tricky because they are not always listed as Dominican, but sometimes as Spanish. The "Spanish" restaurants aren't all Dominican, but many are in Washington Heights. For chains, you will have to use google or perhaps reference this non-exhaustive list on wikipedia. Hopefully this has been helpful to you and that we have all learned how to better users of web technology today and that there does exist restaurants that are neither Dominican nor chains within Washington Heights!

Your not so bright. There is also a Jewish academic institution of higher education known as Yeshiva. Jews primarily live on the opposite side of Washington Heights west of Broadway.

I speak Spanish, but thanks for your "lesson". Your condescending tone about using the web is cute. I stand by my comment in terms of their being a lack of available options up there, especially considering how large the area is.

Really? Tell me something I don't know. Last I checked that area was called Washington Heights too...

Wait, but you wanted a list, but weren't able to generate it yourself, right? I think the instructions were explicit enough, but if you need additional help, don't be ashamed! Every technology has a learning curve! I'm sorry it could not be a complete and exhaustive list, but you know that old adage about "teaching a man to fish" and I think it's a good one!

The idea was for you to prove me wrong, not about a bloody list. I'm impressed that there was at least one wine bar on your list.

I think a thank you would be sufficient, but a "help me" if you're having difficulties is fine, too.
You can just say "help me!"
So here is the help. Similarly to when I said you can use the text entry forms on the top before, you can apply it again!
On the top left, I wrote "wine bar" instead of "restaurants" and then on the top right, I once again wrote in the area "173rd and Broadway". After that, we do the same thing as before--we "check" the filter for "Walking". And voila! The results!
So it's very similar to the last one in terms of process. Now let's walk through another one when you're ready! Don't feel intimidated, because, incredibly, this was once new to me as well!
Really? So all of the people renting market rate apartments are either poor, haven't established themselves or are just going to be in an area temporarily? The majority of New Yorkers RENT, regardless of their economic status.
No. People who move up socioeconomically in NYC purchase property and often move to the suburbs.
Within the city itself, people who are well off purchase homes.
My statement stands. Renting is for poor people, those who haven't established themselves, or who are going to be in an area temporarily.
It's funny seeing poor white people move into a ghetto, and then complain when the ghetto doesn't instantly change. Gentrification can take decades, so you'd either need to able to like the neighborhood as it is, or you need to move. Plain and simple.
By the way, having a full time job does not mean that you're not poor. Some of the right wingers on this forum are a lot closer to poverty than they admit.
