My Favorite Places for Coffee

Get a great cup of coffee and a croissant and head for a morning stroll in central park -- just one block away.
Everything is terrific in this tiny cafe -- the cappuccino, the lattes, the muffins, the scones, even the salads and sandwiches. A real "New Yorkers" local hangout and a place to see and be seen.

This is my absolute favorite place in Central Park. It is a few short blocks from the apartment. In the summer, the trees create a canopy that covers the stretch of road; in the winter, the snowscape is breath-taking.
