Editorial Review for Cafeteria – by Daniel Rosenblatt
The Scene
The sexy, animated setting features a gleaming white decor. Frosted-glass panels, gold-rimmed mirrors and wood tables offset the vanilla color scheme. In warm weather, the garage-style front doors are raised, merging the dining room with the sidewalk.
The Food
If you don't opt for the fluffy all-day omelettes and pancakes, you can stick with a traditional lunch menu, which can include a bowl of steamed baby mussels in a garlicky tomato broth and a salad of cherry tomatoes, cucumber and red onion on toasted sourdough bread smeared with tangy goat cheese. Don't miss the macaroni and cheese, a crusty, bubbling version with just the right blend of cheddar and fontina.

Insider Tips
Where to SitWhen the garage doors are open, the tables by the windows and on the sidewalk offer prime people-watching along Seventh Avenue.

I have been going to Cafeteria since it opened it doors, and though it’s gone through some hiccups and hurdles, it still remains to be the best place in NYC for Mac & Cheese & those scrumptious cocktails. The menu has consistently changed with the seasons, and always for the better! FINALLY, they have chef that can put out some incredible food with flavors. Although the staff can be a bit vexing, I'll still keep going! Got to keep in mind you’re in CHELSEA, and in Chelsea you get a lot of attitude no matter what restaurant you’re at...
Pros: Expanded Outdoor Seating!!!
Cons: NEED MORE SPACE INSIDE
