Paige C: Most of their menu has coconut, which is disappointing since I'm allergic, but the watermelon smoothie is my favorite thing in the menu!
Michael H: Smooth strawberry is tasty and refreshing. Strawberries, bananas, and coconut milk.
Damian Bayona: Ask for the coconut kolada poured back into the coconut for an exotic midtown treat 🍹

Lydia Yao: Great smoothie specials (mango lassi, watermelon guava, lime papaya, etc.) but beware lunch-hour craziness. Breakfast is somewhat more civilized.
Debbie Lam: Chicken liver pate toast and Brazilian chicken salad at the salad bar
Adam Rothenberg: Get the Tobago smoothie, you will thank me
Jen Grunwald: The Asian Chicken Salad Bowl is DELICIOUS. Watermelon Gazpacho also very good.
Ryan K: Such a great outdoor restaurant. I find myself coming here more and more. Reservations needed with the exception of the covered bar area. Cranberry chicken salad wrap is on point!
The Corcoran Group: Grab an outside table during the warmer months and enjoy a pitcher of sangria with a Beef Burger or Steak and Eggs. Relax, it’s the weekend, who cares if the service is slow.
Melody Ewing: Warm hummus + watermelon and feta salad + pastirma wrapped dates. Yes, yes and yes.
Mischa: Have a lunch interview/meeting? This is a really good place to go, perfectly located in the middle of the Midtown
Murat Ülker: The atmosphere is just like Beyoglu/Istanbul, the food is great and delicious.

Kourosh Behnam: Great place for pastry. I wish the coffee was just as good. The creme brûlée was a bit eggy. One of the best tiramisu I have ever had.
Serious Eats: A small bakery with some excellent pastries. Don't miss the fresh croissants.
Zayed Khan: One of the better pains au chocolat I've had in NYC. Buttery w/o being heavy, perfectly flaky, and a healthy amount of filling (double chocolate rolls: rich and not overly sweet).
