Coffee Shop

REVIEW

February 8, 2009


CUISINE: American (Traditional), Coffeehouse, Diner
NEIGHBORHOOD: Flatiron/Union Square

29 Union Square West at 16th St

(p) 212-243-79969

 

Foodies, beware! The best part of this overpriced, poorly portioned restaurant is the juice/smoothie bar attached to it.  That, and the extensive outdoor seating in Union Square.  Yes, the waitresses all look like models, but why is this an incentive to order a cheeseburger and fries? The food is just plain bad.

71 Irving

REVIEW

February 8, 2009


CUISINE: Brunch, Coffeehouse, Sandwiches
NEIGHBORHOOD: Flatiron/Union Square

71 Irving Place

Between 18th and 19th st
(p) 212-995-5252

 

Cozy and crowded, 71 Irving offers more than just coffee and teas.  Many healthy options like granola and homemade hummus put up a good fight against the more gluttonous proscuitto panino and slew of baked goods.  A tad on the pricey side, but so is Starbucks. Go here instead.
