Lodi

The bustling Rockefeller Center may seem like the last place you'd look for some slowed-down, European-style repose, but that's exactly what you'll find at Lodi, the all-day café, bar, bakery, and restaurant from Estela and Altro Paradiso's beloved chef Ignacio Mattos. Inspired by Italian "caffè" and "aperitivo" culture, the hybrid destination has already garnered a deserved amount of foodie fanfare since making its debut. Gourmands can appreciate the selection of authentic panini, antipasti, and plates of cured meats and cheeses while, for the bread snobs, there are shelves of artisanal loaves, freshly baked and made with grains milled in-house.
