If you need a surfboard or some pricey apparel that suggests you’re open to the idea of surfing, go to Saturdays. Their location on Crosby Street is also a coffee shop, and it has a back patio filled with plants and benches. When you need to sit somewhere quiet in Soho, it’s an excellent option - and, on your way out, you can buy a surfboard or a $100 t-shirt.
Greecologies is a coffee shop in Nolita that sells $8 yogurt and coffee with butter. And it’s actually pretty great.
Lovely Day is one of the most reasonably priced restaurants where you can still feel like you've had a fun night out.
The original Seamore's is in Nolita, and the Chelsea location is pretty much the same. Stop by for some casual seafood, maybe in your gym clothes.
The Upper East Side location of Bluestone Lane is in a very pretty old church. It’s a nice place for a quick coffee or a slower brunch.
