A must-visit in New York: Maman! A breakfast, lunch, brunch, and coffee spot in Little Italy, bordering Soho. Upon entering, it looks like a takeaway place (and it is). But walk past the kitchen to the back and you'll find yourself in a charming, small space with a few tables. Here, locals work on their laptops, friends enjoy a coffee (and a coke!), or couples enjoy a croissant, sandwich, or quiche. I can tell you from experience that the quiche is truly delicious!


Maman is also a really cute hotspot. Think dark brown floor and tables, brick wall, white chairs, lots of hanging plants, lights hanging from the ceiling, and several vases of white flowers on the table. Super cozy, and it feels a bit like being in a courtyard thanks to all the greenery. A bit girly too, but you'd be surprised how many men come here for a caffeine fix—nice!
Extra fun: on Saturdays and Sundays, Maman in New York hosts a brunch from 9am to 3pm!
