East West Books Cafe, 212-243-5994, 78 Fifth Avenue @ 14th Street, NYC
03/25/2008 My review is more of the cafe than the bookstore. Being "East-West" by way of my mixed heritage, I'm somewhat immune to the allures of "East-West" paraphernalia. Plus, I hate the smell of incense.However, the cafe has a good feel to it. There's Wi-Fi, it's a calm spot, and the food is good. Most delightful is the vegan meatball sandwich, which features spinach, roasted tomatoes and onions on wheat/flax bread. There are flax/corn chips on the side, as well as a nice helping of dried fruit (prune, pear, apricot). I'm full of good feelings toward the East West Cafe! Check it out, but do try to avoid the "hippies" with their big diamond rings and strollers.

Think Coffee is my favorite coffee shop in all of New York (which is far more bereft of coffee shops -- aside from Starbucks and other chains -- than you might think). A great mix of NYU kids and neighborhood people. It can get loud, but the (apparently) staff-chosen music selection is eclectic and interesting. There's also a wine and cheese bar in the evenings, along with light food and desserts all day. Oh, and they advertise that their coffee is always fair trade. And another sign says they donate 10 percent of their profits to local charities. What's not to like?!
