My Favorite Places for Coffee
Get a great cup of coffee and a croissant and head for a morning stroll in central park -- just one block away.
Everything is terrific in this tiny cafe -- the cappuccino, the lattes, the muffins, the scones, even the salads and sandwiches. A real "New Yorkers" local hangout and a place to see and be seen.

If making reservations a few months in advance is not your thing (and I do understand that!) then go and sit in the bar area and enjoy a fabulous cocktail and light bite. You will not be disappointed!
