Uptown Garrison is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.theuptowngarrison.com/new-page-1 (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://ordering.chownow.com/order/10807/locations?add_cn_ordering_class=true (through chownow acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.theuptowngarrison.com/menus-1
- Phone: +1-917-261-4680

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+4 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
