Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Upper East Side, New York

Polina W. • June 19, 2021Superb cocktails with creative presentation and great service. The indoor design is unique, with nice spacing between diners (due to COVID19). The outdoor dining is on the road, and is less pleasant.

Alyssa B. • January 17, 2022Pictured is caramel cookies and raspberry crunch, 2 flavors for Small. The caramel cookies and milk choc pretzel are so good!! Need to come back to try rest of the flavors.

Paige C. • July 30, 2019Finally on the UES! Very friendly staff. Delicious desserts, breads and coffee! The cookies are bigger than the scones!

Stephanie M. • August 13, 2016The Italian hero sandwiches are ginormous and delicious.

Halstead Property • November 11, 2011Worlds best macaron has landed right on Madison Ave, you would expect the rose petal ones to taste like potpourri but its actually one of the best flavors. Not too sweet and the filling is so light
