MORNING
The most important meal of the day doesn’t even have to include wine
Wouldn’t you know it? Kara Newman, who reviews spirits for the magazine, recommends a coffee place that measures simple syrup with jiggers. Everyman Espresso, in a small space in the East Village that formerly served as the box office for the theater next door, is her go-to for lattes (there’s a Park Slope outpost as well). Sonoma-based Managing Editor Stacy Briscoe may have never been to New York City, but nonetheless has three (!) of those ceramic souvenir I [heart] NY coffee mugs that friends and family have brought back from visits, so she can at least pretend.
Publisher and Editor Jacqueline Strum is a big fan of on Bleecker Street for breakfast. “I highly recommend going as early as possible to grab a table outside and watch the West Village wake up,” she says. You won’t find a better pastry this side of Paris. And while you may be pining for past Parisian in Prospect Heights are worth the trek to Brooklyn, says Digital Managing Editor Rachel Tepper Paley: “The icing-slathered cinnamon rolls will make your eyes pop out of your skull Looney Tunes-style.” President of Commerce Erika Silberstein urges you to visit Upper West Side’s and try a slice of olive rosemary sourdough, a tomato feta quiche, a pretzel roll or a macaron.
