Cafe Gitane
Located in the Jane Hotel, Cafe Gitane is a real treat that's worth the few-block walk from the train. The food is great and the coffee's just as good, but the people watching is even better. The mixture of well-to-do European tourists with West Village aficionados under the guise of another era, perhaps the early 1900s, gives the spot its own sense of charm. It's really a very pleasant place for a meeting or a date.
