This pretty, airy Bronx coffee shop makes for a welcome break whether it’s for a caffeine fix or a glass of wine after work. But the food menu is also worthwhile, especially the flatbreads and a decadent chicken panino.

Moss delivers Stumptown coffee, alcohol, and food focused on local, sustainable ingredients, from all-day options like open-faced biscuit and eggs to dinner-only highlights like the fish tacos stuffed with fried hake. Many substitutions are available for dietary restrictions.

A veteran of French haute cuisine, chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten has reinvented himself several times over, most recently with the opening of the vegetarian/vegan AbcV in Flatiron, which includes for the first time in his career a takeout counter. The hip cafe continues ABC Kitchen’s tradition of unpretentious preparations of seasonal produce, like slow-roasted beets tossed with mustard and pickles. The menu pleases nearly all palates — the dishes really are satisfying to even meat lovers — with food appropriate for a quick snack or worth lingering over at a sit-down dinner in the very white space.

A Brazilian coffee shop that’s so much more, O Cafe has for almost two decades provided the West Village with fair trade coffee, natural wines, and elegant dishes for daytime recuperation, including frittatas and a cheese bun made with yuca. There’s an additional location operated within the New School.

The cozy wine bar/restaurant from West Village culinary wizards Gabe and Gina Stulman (Fedora, Joseph Leonard) replaces the higher-end Perla. As with the Stulmans’ other joints, Fairfax ingeniously suits the neighborhood’s tastes with dishes that are familiar yet interesting, like a gravlax platter paired with challah chips or, at lunch and dinner, smoked trout served alongside blood orange.

This stunner of a restaurant from chef Camille Becerra and co-owner Grace Lee — who very much encourage a lady-friendly space — is where fashion types flock to munch on grain bowls, egg sandwiches, and more hearty nighttime options like pork chop and hangar steak. Go to feel very, very cool.

The sit-down outpost of the century-old Lower East Side Jewish seafood proprietor stays close to home literally and figuratively. Just a few blocks away from the original store, customers can indulge in the same products recontextualized, like heaping platters of smoked fish. Or enjoy entirely new creations such as beautifully light knishes, lamb shakshuka, and a dangerously smooth gin martini with a touch of absinthe.

The house-roasted joe at East One is only part of the reason to stay in the Carroll Gardens hangout. Another is its kitchen is busy cooking up satisfying brunch items like a generous duck leg hash and all-day options including succulent octopus.

Sisters has become a Clinton Hill go-to for its beautifully designed, sunlit space, top-notch coffee and cocktails, plus dishes that could put some more traditional American restaurants in Brooklyn to shame. The veggie burger, slathered in smoked mozzarella, is a surprising highlight. The back room is ideal for parties.

This American eatery under the Williamsburg Bridge helped make the neighborhood a dining destination. It’s still improving on its formula with a constantly changing menu from day to night, but the chicken liver pate and brick chicken are regular stars.

This homey space is a welcome reprieve on a busy corner of Williamsburg. Locals and visitors tuck into its booths and bar seats for coffee and an impressive beer list as well as Cajun-inspired bites like a fried chicken po boy and poutine reimagined with heavily seasoned fries.

The aggressively hip atmosphere of Norman, a bakery/cocktail bar/restaurant from Scandinavian chefs Claus Meyer and Fredrik Berselius set inside a design space, takes getting used to. But after approaching one of the highly capable servers, it starts to make a lot of sense. The kitchen turns out ambitious takes on comforting classics, including a savory porridge and housemade crusty bread with impossibly fluffy clarified butter. The bar has a surprisingly reasonable happy hour featuring standout wines.

Astoria’s best-kept secret is a contemporary version of a diner, with dependable American staples and a handsome bar with a giant whiskey selection. Get there before 7 p.m. for $1 dollar Blue Point oysters and select $6 dollar libations.
