Dean & DeLuca Tea and Sympathy The Big Cup Cafe Rafaela | |
|
DEAN & DELUCA CAFE 560 BROADWAY (212)226-6800 | |
| For the quintessential SoHovian coffee experience, you’ve got to hit the classic. D & D is what put the coffee house on the map. This industrial space that originally served espresso to starving artists is now home to the chic Euro set. Yet, the quality has not suffered a bit. Nibble on a panino of fresh mozzerella and tomato or bite into a brioche as you whittle away the afternoon taking in the local talent and hottie tourists. | |

TEA AND SYMPATHY 108 GREENWICH AVENUE (BTWN 12TH AND 13TH) (212)807-8329 | |
| The only place for tea and scones in the late afternoon. Watch UK imports like Naomi and Kate (p.s. the girl does eat) cackle away in the corner table as they get mistreated by the staff (everybody does). The nasty attitude is actually quite refreshing in this day of overly zealous help. | |

THE BIG CUP 228 8TH AVENUE (212)206-0059 | |
| This sixties inspired coffee house is where the gayboys go to cruise and shmooze. Order up your skim latte at the bar, then take a seat on the mismatched furniture, and watch the show. It’s like Friends, but with a Chelsea twist. | |
|
CAFfE RAFAELLA 134 7TH AVUNUE SOUTH (212)929-7247 | |
| This classic hang out in the west village is the only spot in town where tired looking scenesters sip espresso (pinky finger extensions acsoss the board) alongside chic Yamamoto-clad shop owners. |
