The New York Basics - New York City

This place has been replaced by a new cafe. I ordered a sandwich and the inside was totally frozen when I bit into it. Like an ice cube. I had to throw the whole thing away and was not able to eat until 2 hours later, by which point I was extremely hungry.No longer serving bagels or açaí or most of the menu items that they prepared. The staff is nice, as always, but the menu has totally gone down hill. The inside is characterless: the aesthetic death of midtown has found a place in Morningside Heights.

Had the most amazing sandwich (jack Benny) multiple days. However, the tater tots received one day were inedible and smelled awful. Still went back the next day for the sandwich, though.

Very rude staff, hostile environment. What’s with the hate looks and starting. The people with me noticed that too.. They think they’re doing you a favor! I paid for it. You don’t need to be nice, at least you should be respectful! Definitely not coming back ever even if I was given free drink and food for life !

Great muffin and a great mocha for under $9 in Manhattan, would recommend.

I come from Europe, and crepe is something i eat regularly. I ordered a pesto mozzarella crêpe and cappuccino with oatmilk here. The coffee was ok. The crepe was mediocre, thick, soggy (very watery underneath), and not tasty. Using plastic utensils, paper plates, and cups is very annoying, especially when you're eating something wet. It feels you're getting bits of the paper plate in each bite. Atmosphere ok, Staff were friendly.
