C & B is everything I ever want in a cafe - good coffee, good vibes, and a plethora of egg delivery systems. Try everything on their menu, then do it all over again.

Consistently good Moroccan food here. Try the Lamb Tagine or the Cous-Cous Merguez and after your meal take a stroll through Tompkins Square Park.
Someone will always pick Journey, just wait for it. Make everyone take shots of nigori sake, and soon they'll be singing the Spice Girls in a jumpy, heaping mess. And it's why we love karaoke.
Seriously one of the best meals I've had end to end. Most I've ever been excited about a desert menu.

Georgian food, amazing bread and yummy, saucy stew-type dishes for dipping. Good sidewalk seating.

Part tattoo parlor, part jewelry boutique, this is the place where fashion-industry insiders get inked or at the very least snag exotically worked necklaces.
