Cafeteria 61: Cafeteria 61’s rooftop bar is a creative and rustic departure from the 24-hour deli downstairs and urban-slick Luahn next door. This outdoor patio’s wooden floors, walls, and tables are illuminated by hanging lanterns, and when it comes to Korean pop music, this place has Seoul. Come here for a quiet dinner and drinks for two on a week night, but bring along the Altoids, as your breath will smell of an Emeril Live episode after ingesting the tasty Korean fare that is served. Somewhat in the middle of the NYU area, Cafeteria 61 is a great place for listening to college kids discuss the French New Wave—then spitting on them as they pass on the sidewalk below. |
