Lafayette
380 Lafayette St., b/t 4th St & Great Jones St., NoHo, (212) 533-3000.
The spacious and elegant French grand cafe and bakery Lafayette is an air-conditioned oasis on a hot NYC day and makes the perfect lunch stop. The complimentary bread and butter is exceptional, and I could have happily made a meal of just that--perhaps with a small salad. I chose a Jambon Cru Baguette which was actually a delectable ham sandwich made especially delicious with a French baguette enhanced with stone-ground mustard and cornichons. Oh yeah! Next time I think I’ll try the L’Italien with mozzarella, rapini, and peperonata. Salads, entrees, and more are available. I made room for a ring ding dessert that rang my bell--a devil’s food cake with vanilla filling fashioned after a similarly named popular common version--but macarons in many flavors were also an option. Next time.
