One of my regular spots to grab gab time with friends and sit in a relaxed bistro setting, is at U Café. This small European-style café holds about eighteen tables and the back of the restaurant includes an area to take-away some desserts for later. Scoring a doorway seat is key, as the front windows open to the outside Avenue (in the warmer months). Being that it’s situated on the quaint Upper East Side, it thankfully doesn’t get to noisy. Personally, sitting outside always makes me feel like I am on vacation, even in my own city.

French Vintage Posters line the warm bold yellow & orange painted walls, which are bright enough to be modern and cheerful without overbearing. I scan the room realizing every detail was thought out, from the the modern stainless steel vases that adorn each table to the authentic café chairs that add a touch of Paris to this restaurant. It’s the airy inviting feel you get from U Café that sets this restaurant apart from many others.
