Popular stop for bikers or anyone - Indian Road Cafe. The best coffee for miles around, and good food too.

If you get there too late on a Saturday, though, it may be crowded.

Web site is corny, service is OK, food is good.
Saw a sign today @ the former Peter's, on 1st Avenue between 83rd & 84th, for "The Pitch & Fork". Web searches are giving me nothing, aside that they have been inspected by the City. Anybody know anything about this place??

It's a little far east, but Cafe Alsace @ 88th & 2nd is delightful, the croissants are to die for (same people as Le Monde, French Roast, etc.). Strong seconds on Corner Cafe, that place is underappreciated, particularly for breakfast, and their bakery is on the north corner of the same block. Unless Flex Mussels has got their act together from last year, I advise caution. The mussels and dessert are delicious, but when I went the front of the house was disorganized (forgivable) and obnoxious (not forgivable). For better service and delicious mussels, I advise B Cafe on E 75th bet 2nd & 3rd.
