By 125th street 1 train station, 10 mins walk from home. Being in Japan for a year, I would say this place is a decent place for Japanese ramen. Try the crab meat saland and spicy donkatsu ramen. Oh, and try the Asahi draft beer too.

$20 a drink. But the amazing, one-of-a-kind Times Square view would be enough to justify the price. Great place to experience TS other than the usual tourists spots.
St. Cloud Rooftop Bar

This is more of a weekend, live music brunch place. A lot of greens on the rooftop, and they even have an ancient cart of train to set as sitting area.

Columbia University graduate student usual hangout place. May have some underaged kids on weekends, but overall a nice crowd. The roof sometimes turns into a club on the weekends.

Eugene's Favorite Asian Restaurants/Bars
My take on Asian bars/ food.
Cheap and cheerful, authentic Japanese izakaya, good Sake, cheap Japanese beer. Oh, and they serve BBQ Cow penis too.
There's always a long line, so you must get there before 6 30 pm to avoid a 2 hour wait.

Secretly located in an underground basement. Great Japanese bar snacks, but it can get crowded in the weekends so get there early.

My favorite Dim Sum place. The scene is as authentic as Hong Kong. Servers pushing out Dim Sum carts circulating around the room. You need to feel comfortable to wave them over to you or walk up to them if you want to order food.
