From Citysearch

In Short
Stylish mommies toting babies and boutique-shopping couples fill this cafe and bar during the day. High ceilings, a crumbling wall and prop clotheslines make the skylit space feel like the set for an Italian street scene. The menu includes Italian fare, from salads and frittata to pizza and panini; homemade baked goods are a good bet, with favorites like coffeecake and banana-chocolate oat bars. Breakfast items include omelets and French toast with mascarpone and berries.
