From Lucie

Echoing the old school coffee bars of Spain and Italy, this place has been serving the neighborhood since 2007. Go for the olive oil cake and coffee in classic NYC cups.
MuseumEast Village
Swiss Institute
Our go-to when we want contemporary art that's deeply thoughtful, beautifully installed, and quietly ahead of the curve. Part intellectual laboratory, part downtown sanctuary, it's one of the best places to spend an afternoon in the city.
