We had passed by Piccolo a couple times, and I really wanted to stop in before we left NYC. I also wanted to check out the river, so I got up a little early on Monday, checked out the river and the bike path along the west side of Manhattan, and got some coffee and a torta della nona (tuscan cheescake. I know, I know, but we're on vacation).
Piccolo Cafe is a true gem, unique from the many cookie cutter, chain coffee shops found throughout NYC and other cities. Its a very small space, with a very rustic, old-school decor, and they focus on Italian cafe food and coffee. Really, really good coffee, and the cheesecake was very light and flavorful, almost like a firm custard in the middle.
Thank you New York.
