Dunkin'

Add caffeine between 125th and Lenox, and you’re in the right stretch of Harlem for a quick coffee stop. A neighborhood classic, the stand-alone green-and-orange exterior faces East 125th where foot traffic never quite thins. They keep mornings smooth with espresso drinks, iced teas, and breakfast sandwiches ready before the subway to Midtown loads up.

Find the place at 151 E 125th St New York, NY 10035, tucked on the block between Madison and Fifth. The aroma crosses the sidewalk first, then comes the line at the drive-thru window. Grab a dozen glazed or order a large black coffee for the 4 train ride downtown; either way, it’s five minutes from the station.
