Shrimp with roasted tomatoes and fennel at Indian Road Cafe

INWOOD (WABC) -- Inwood at the top of Manhattan where the Harlem and Hudson Rivers meet is the spot Jason Minter and Jason Berger opened Indian Road Cafe five years ago.

Today, it's really a community hub where people get their coffee and often linger.

All the baked goods are made here, so you can start your day with a muffin and coffee; get something light for lunch and something more decadent for dinner. Like the shrimp with roasted tomatoes and fennel.
