Description
Although this cafe looks like an authentic New Yorker creation, it is actually run by two Frenchmen. It might be the Zabar's sandwich which is smoked salmon and cream cheese on ciabatta, or the Central Park salad, which combines three types of lettuce with three types of tomatoes in a vinaigrette that give this impression. It is a charming cafe with a splendid outdoor patio. Be sure to save room for some of the sweets... these Frenchmen knew enough to put a New York cheesecake in the display.

Insider Tips
The Bakers have been busy in the kitchen creating three new flavors of strudels: pineapple with coconut, pear with chocolate, and banana with cinnamon. It’s unclear how long these morsels will last, so hurry in to try them!
