replying to u/Terrible_Put2975: You could call the Hungarian Pastry Shop, which is right by Columbia University (https://www.hungarianpastryshop.com/menus). Super special spot!
“It's a local institution, but the baked goods are standard, generic sweets - cakes, strudels, cookies, eclairs. Not particularly good and not particularly Hungarian.”

“The Hungarian Pastry Shop has Austro-Hungarian pastries and as an Austrian I'd say they're legit. I've had the Apfelstrudel and Linzer Augen and they're as good as what you'd find in Austria.”

replying to u/Pizzacat0802: Came here to say this. I don’t know if it’s still the same but when I was in law school about 15 years ago they had unlimited coffee refills and there was no wifi. Perfect place to study. The coffee wasn’t particularly amazing but great pastries and wonderful vibe.
“their cardamom chocolate cake is my favourite.”

replying to u/LoriJayneNYC: Come to Lori Jayne, we’re an American restaurant in a dive bar in Bushwick, we serve high quality handmade food reminiscent of fast food or your favorite “American snacks growing up, but better. Think a fantastic burger, moist chicken nuggets and tenders, dope fries, wings on wings, and fun specials like $20 steak frite w ramp butter or roasted mushroom Arrancini, we’re open 7 days a week, check us out on IG and have a great trip. Happy to trade Portuguese tinned fish or olive oil for a meal, 1000% serious.

replying to u/Garconavecunreve: Cocina Consuelo is great allround - the brunch is one of the best I’ve had in nyc Hungarian pastry shop is more towards morningside but my no1 destination for European pastries (that aren’t French) Once you’re around campus you’ve also got the superior Milano market Chopped parsley isn’t on par with ROKC but still a decent ramen option Des ambassedes for Senegalese but you have to stick to their actual African food - the rest of the menu is meh
