There are endless amount of cute cafes and bistro in Greenwich Village that it's hard to chose one. We found this cute Scandinavian place.

The sandwiches are all open-faced kind. Foie Gras Mousse & Apples with Gooseberry Preserve, the bread a bit burnt but still nice. The potato salad side is very good.

After a rather disappointing day for Joan at Midtown (unmovable with holiday crowd in a tourisy commercial area), I brought her to the old Europe-vibe Greenwich Village filled with cafes and cute boutiques, which totally redeem her impression of NYC.

Comments:

Greenwich is more toward lower Manhattan...it used to be an artist bohemian place, near the NY University. Last time I was in NY I got lost while walking from SoHo trying to look for Greenwich Village. So I dashed into the first bookstore I saw and bought a Michelin guide haha. This time we're much more prepared! One of the recent Japanese magazine I got has a NY guide and it has good non-obvious recommendation.

I love the fork and spoon lamp!!!
The sandwiches look fantastic!
Is Greenwich Village far from the central? More local and less touristy?
You really need a guide to know a city. Do you get recommendations from your co-workers living there?
