Cafe Cluny
Between the leisurely hours of nine and ten each weekday morning, New York's chicest gather for breakfast meetings, to peruse the paper, and to muse ever so cinematically out the soft lit, cream draped windows of Cafe Cluny. This classic favorite is one of those rare New York spots where everything's a show. Diners watching dreamily as passersby strut all too perfectly up and down West 4th Street. Said passersby peek oh-so-casually as they proceed, all to get a look at those enviably sat in this most perfect of perches. Are they there on important business? Are they a fabulous freelancer with a schedule of their own making? Or are they just wealthier than God with nothing else on the to-do list for the day?
Either way, people will be looking, so give them a show fitting of this West-Village-meets-Provence dream. Simplicity reigns supreme at Cluny - sartorial and sustenance-wise - so embrace your inner Barefoot Contessa, and go back to basics. Stick to stylish and sleek pieces, and liven things up with a glam accessory. Just no matter what you do, do NOT wear a Saint James striped breton, or any other similar mariniére tops. Your entire experience will be killed by matching the waitstaff. We'd recommend the Mixed Berries and Yogurt, Omelette and Fries, and Frisee Salad aux Lardons.
Cafe Cluny, 248 West 12th Street
