“Capri Caffe is like being in Italy. I know that’s such a cliché, but it is! It is tiny, cramped, crazy, doesn’t take cards, staff doesn’t speak much English, no one gets their food at the same time, and everything is delicious. They also have Chinotto (an addictive Italian soft drink), which is how you know they’re authentic. Oh, and there’s no kitchen—they cook everything behind what looks like the counter of the deli that used to be there. I shouldn’t even be telling you this because it’s hard enough to get a table already.” —Hudson River
