☞ EAT: The East Harlem Cafe

This substantial cafe, on lower Lexington, in East Harlem, is THE quintessential hangout for the new East Harlem scene. It's a destination hangout for locals, artist and those most recently transplanted to the east side. Free wi-fi, electrical outlets and large couches also give an extra reason to drop by to try out the coffee and pastries. The East Harlem Cafe is located at 1651 Lexington Avenue, between 104th Street and 105th Street. Nearest subway is the 6 train at 103rd. Photo by Ulysses
