trip, Cafeteria is one of many hot spots where Sex and the City
was filmed.Bustling with young, trendy New Yorkers, Cafeteria is nestled in Chelsea on 7th Avenue. Chelsea offers many places to eat and this wouldn't necessarily be my first recommendation. However, if you want to feel like you are really in 'hip' New York then this might be it. All day breakfasts, big salads and fresh juices are fresh and filling and the clean decor gives a very young feel to the restaurant.
I checked out various online reviews to see what other diners thought and it's very hit and miss. Although it seems the majority of 'miss' reviews were based on the 'Sex and the City
' experience (here's a heads up - if you expect a naked Samantha to walk through the door and ask you how you want your eggs you will be bitterly disappointed).I had the Montery Eggs: fried eggs, black eye peas, warm tortilla, jack cheese, avocado and cherry tomato salsa with a side of turkey bacon. It's worth making a note about turkey bacon in New York; if you are from the UK you will only be used to the thick, fake smoked smelling stuff you can get in supermarkets. This is not what it's like in New York and if you are a non-pork eater I recommend you trying it. The Montery Eggs were great, although my eggs felt a little overdone, but not enough to fault the dish!
To drink I had Acai Tropical Punch: acai juice, strawberry puree, pineapple juice topped with seltzer. It was very refreshing, and I definitely wanted more than one, but at $5 a pop one was enough.
Make sure you go when it's not too busy; this way you can ensure fast service and and have the time to take in the atmosphere.
