Recommendations

Come for world class people watching and good espresso. Eat elsewhere.

Guide: Euro (Giancarlo)
Location: Nolita

Strengths

• Sit outside or by the window on a sunny day, and watch the beautiful babies walk by. Intentionally scruffy European men, probably with a Ferrari parked nearby, and impossibly tall and thin models. These are your appetizers, entrees and desserts.
• Want some sustenance? Try an espresso, a glass of wine and some baked goods. Skip the rest.

Shortcomings

• Nothing major - just mediocre food and service, and long waits ;-)

Insider tips

• It’s best on a sunny weekday, late morning or in the afternoon. If you must come on a weekend, avoid lunchtime.

Anecdotes

• I've "fallen in love" (or at least lust) here a dozen times. Excuse the superficiality for a moment, but hey, there’s something about being in the presence of drop-dead gorgeous (women/men – you choose) that makes my heart race.
