One morning before I had to go to a meeting, I popped in and sat for an hour with my coffee and croissants. Put me in the perfect frame of mind.<BR/><BR/>But... I can't leave the place without stopping by the bakery and picking up some pain de seigle or multi-grain bread to take home (and their chocolate madeleines are sublime). Totally worth the carbs, if you're worried about those things.Spandrel Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782425263902619415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-47350022566754172022008-02-15T14:09:00.000-05:002008-02-15T14:09:00.000-05:00I think Cedar is dead as well.

Try "Florent" on Gansevoort (one of my faves), or "The Brass Monkey" on Little West 12th St. (for a cool Irish pub vibe with live Irish music on Sunday evenings). It's hard to make up one's mind in the West Village.BrianChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17474333393989390643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-88109699290227373022008-02-15T10:45:00.000-05:002008-02-15T10:45:00.000-05:00I will have one wafel to go off that yellow truck....I will have one wafel to go off that yellow truck. How nice is that. I wish I lived there sometimes. <BR/><BR/>How about the subway? I lived in Brooklyn in the 1970s. I remember taking the subway every week somewhere.

The Brooklyn Promenade has also been a fave of visitor's of mine, the transit museum over there is pretty good too.fishwithoutbicyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071691302805126529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-21940740912408313922008-02-15T08:09:00.000-05:002008-02-15T08:09:00.000-05:00hey spandrel!You'll have to come and stay the week...hey spandrel!<BR/>You'll have to come and stay the weekend! I promise you'll have a blast. It can be quite the playland.<BR/><BR/>Haha!<BR/>I'm dismayed! Chumley's was so cute.<BR/><BR/>I was going to include Double Happiness, too but that's also closed. And whatever happened to Cedar on University Place?<BR/><BR/>Seems like you stay here a while and seeing places come and go is part of the process. It can be quite sad.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you. Walking the bridge is so fun and nice. Then walking the Brooklyn promenade and stopping for a snack.<BR/><BR/>Happy Valentines back!Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-57451667901293891622008-02-14T23:19:00.000-05:002008-02-14T23:19:00.000-05:00A lot of good recommendations there.

Although I'd point out that Chumley's is closed, with no re-opening on the horizon.<BR/><BR/>One thing I'd recommend is taking visitors to the Brooklyn Bridge right at sunset. The views gorgeous, and the light is fantastic.<BR/><BR/>Happy Valentine's Day!!Ha Ha Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545196323391055102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-12983369010754695052008-02-14T22:37:00.000-05:002008-02-14T22:37:00.000-05:00What a great list!
