The next restaurant I will be covering is Cafeteria! Cafeteria is a swanky take on an American diner attracting people-watchers all day and post-clubbers late night. Cafeteria is located in the Chelsea neighborhood, at the cross streets of 7th Avenue and 17th Street. Cafeteria earns a $$ price rating from Zagat.
The Restaurant Atmosphere
The atmosphere at Cafeteria is, simply put, fun! The all white color scheme, close quarters seating, and huge street-view windows make for an undeniably enjoyable dining experience. The outdoor seating available during warm months is very popular. Not to mention the prime people-watching location (you’re sure to run into someone you know, or at least recognize from US Weekly) and a downstairs bar to get you through the wee hours of a Saturday (or Monday) morning.
This unquestionably hip Chelsea setting is open 24 hours a day. It’s a formula that works. Even though Cafeteria’s no longer got that new-restaurant vibe, well-dressed boys and girls keep returning, brunch after brunch and night after night. With their 24/7 open-door policy, this longtime Chelsea after-the-clubs spot is here to stay.
The Food
Cafeteria is famous for its dressed-up American comfort classics. This amped-up, comfort food menu features everything from meatloaf, to grilled cheese, to mac and cheese, to milkshakes and beyond. Amazingly, the menu at Cafeteria is just as perfect for a casual dinner with a friend as it is for a 4AM fill-up after a long night of partying in Manhattan.
Personal favorites include the fried chicken and waffles, mac and cheese spring rolls, and the crispy fish tacos. Excluding the cocktail menu, the peppermint milkshake is a must-try.
Summary
Cafeteria is a New York City classic, any time of day or night. Perfect for brunch, lunch, dinner, or late night with a friend or a casual date. It's very difficult to find a place of this quality to eat at in the odd hours of the morning, so Cafeteria is never taken for granted.
