This is the place to go when you have two minutes and need to ingest something healthy. Get the Mean Greens, and ask for one that was made today. They keep for several days in the fridge.

Do you want to have an absolutely delicious cup of italian coffee? Perhaps with a Lobster and Brussel Sprout eggs benedict? I thought so... Bring your ipad and use the wifi to map out your day.

The best place to go for coffee in the neighborhood. When people say "gramercy" this is what they're referring to. No wifi, though.

Best. Ramen. Ever. It's a good sign that the patrons here are mostly Japanese. Order the pork buns, and either the Miso or the Modern Ramen. Amazing and affordable. Get here early... like at 5pm.

Drinks & Nightlife
Amazing wines and one block from the apartment. Where all the Gramercyites go to hang out. It is tiny inside and gets crammed, but you won't mind.
