An oasis of culinary delight - our alternate tourist advisors as well. Frequented the 46th at Lexington location for breakfast 5 of our 7 days (closed both Saturday and Sunday) Mnay choices of fresh food tastefully presented and reasonably priced. I recommend the steel cut oatmeal with fruit topping and the cranberry toast - the coffee was hot and tasty.... More

If you like healthy, interesting, well-spiced food, you'll like Wichcraft. The beet, sweet potato, and arugula salad is delicious and you get a very generous portion. I also liked the chickpea sandwich on multi-grain bread. The fare is light and refreshing. The cost is reasonable to a little high. More

I love the witchcraft kiosk at Bryant Park. The Greek yogurt with honey and nuts is the best I've ever had and is often breakfast when I am visiting. The sandwiches and pastries are also very nice, and the location, with outdoor seating, can be a great venue for people watching while you enjoy your meal. More

We were on a tour of the city, and our guide had us stop here for lunch. It probably would not be a place we would have chosen ourselves, but being a native, he knew better. Nothing fancy inside, looking like a slightly upscale deli, did not know what to expect, but were genuinely pleased after ordering. All the sandwiches... More

We figured the food would be better than the larger chains given it's smaller reach and higher prices. Unfortunately the food is actually worse. The pork sandwich was dry and the tomato soup was incredibly salty. The grits were coated in olive oil (extra virgin, which I normally enjoy but it tastes foul on grits). More

My husband and I thought these were the best sandwiches we have ever eaten. We savored every bite. He had the roasted turkey and I had the Heritage ham and cheddar. Simply delicious and not very pricey. YUMx100! More

We stopped in for coffee and tea to go. This place is somewhat pricey but i guess it is NY. We thought the sign was cute and we were taking a photo of us and we were yelled at by an employee telling us that we could not take any photos inside as it is "trademarked". whatever... if you don't...
