This Nolita watering hole is trendy for the all the right reasons. Unlike hotspots that are more flash than substance, this Moroccan-French cafe actually serves up food that's as fresh and beautiful as the crowds who flock here. Since you're not on the set of a fashion shoot, go ahead and sip that cafe au lait or cappuccino, chomp on one of the sandwiches made on an authentically crusty baguette, or devour one of the large Mediterranean salads. Not only is the fare incredibly affordable, the waiters leave you to eat at a leisurely pace despite the crowds waiting outside.
