Café 1912

Frommer's Review

At the edge of the Cooper-Young district in midtown, this casual bistro and bar is especially popular with neighborhood residents. Rickety wooden tables and straw-seat chairs line the painted cement floor in the main dining room, behind which is a separate bar area. (Ask for a table away from the front door, where it can become cold and drafty in chilly weather.) Daily specials include fresh fish and soups, or try the perennially popular beef tenderloin encrusted with smoked olive tapenade; potato puree and red-wine sauce. The best dessert here is the ample fruit and cheese plate, featuring generous wedges of soft, semi-soft, and hard cheese.
