GREY DOG COFFEE

REVIEW

February 15, 2009


CUISINE: Coffeehouse, Desserts & Bakeries, Sandwiches, Soups
NEIGHBORHOOD: Flatiron/Union Square, Greenwich Village, West Village

Dual Locations:

 

 

90 University Pl Between 11th and 12th st

(p) 212 414-4739

 

33 Carmine St between Bedford and Bleeker

(p) 212-462-0041

 

Amazing spot for breakfast, lunch, coffee, and cookies.  Extensive sandwich options include more eclectic choices like the Sliced Granny Smith Apple sandwich with turkey, brie and raspberry mustard in addition to more standard fare like Tuna Melts and PB&Js. Country style salad with a scoop of chicken, tuna, or tofu is a tasty option.   Cappuccinos are made correctly here, and the regular coffee is always fresh. Pick up your fork and napkin yourself and listen for your name to be called over the inevitable crowd.

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.
