NYC Restaurants

Comfort foods of Central and Eastern Europe are the highlights at this bright and airy corner cafe.  Look for dishes like Schnitzel made with pork loin, lingonberries and spaetzle; Golabki, green cabbage stuffed with beef and pork; and Pork Knuckle for Two served with whole grain mustard and German-style red cabbage. Other offerings include mussels in a tomato-cilantro broth, and crawfish with taragon drawn butter.  For dessert there's Apple Strudel and Palatschinken, Romanian-style pancakes with lingonberries and sour cream.
