"This East Village kissaten (a Japanese tea room and coffee shop) is one of the few places where you can get siphon coffee. Sit at the bar, surrounded by decorative mismatched china and stained glass lampshades, and your barista will prepare your order as meticulously as any mixologist. Each cup of coffee is made via one of three brewing methods (pour-over, aeropress, or siphon), and they have an exciting bean selection featuring Japanese roasters. You can also get a proper lunch of omurice and various sandos. Just get there before they turn into a bar at night." - neha talreja
