This isn't Paris, but a quick glance at the antique French paintings and tin signs might fool you. Open for over a decade, this unassuming parent to New York's French bistro craze has remained a popular West Village hangout. Twenty-four hour service, good dark coffee, and a simple bistro menu--what more could you want? Sit for hours at a small marble-topped table near the large picture window and savor the rich café au lait while watching the parade of faces on 6th Avenue. When looking for a quick caffeine fix, just mosey up to the small bar where espresso and baked goods can be had to go.
