Calle Dão pays homage to Havana’s once-thriving El Barrio Chino, where the largest Chinese community in Latin America could once be found. As the two cultures mixed, a unique fusion of cuisine emerged. Executive Chef Humberto Guallpa seamlessly blends the distinct flavors of the Latin and Chinese Cultures, and mixologist Joy Daniel provides enticing array of cocktails. Step into a bygone era and enjoy a modern dining experience at Calle Dão.

French Cafe backed by Michelin starred Armand Arnal that supplies perhaps the best chocolate chip cookie in the city (so lets just say, in the entire world). Savory snacks and lunches for the work day crowd. Excellent coffee.

A Brooklyn interpretation of central Chinese cooking. Featuring fresh take on soup dumplings, amazing double garlic eggplant, and soy sauce from the tap! Of course the hipness comes with the neighborhood, and is reflected in its cocktails.

Furst we had Cafés. At these intellectuals would gather to pontificate, writers would go to purrfect their work. Coffee or tea could be had. Yet something was missing. Everyone felt lonely and there were few hairballs. And lo! Folks made a beeline for the feline cafes that have begun to appear. Though joy was meant to be had, something was still amiss. A lone voice stood and asked, "what about some edamame", "and booze" cried another, "and art" screeched a third. The people agreed, and meowmurs of discontent coursed through the metropolis. It was then that young Benjamin Kalb stepped forth and declared "don't worry y'all, I got you" and thus was Koneko, a Japanese cat cafe conceived and littered. Located on the Lower East Side, time can be reserved with cats. These cats can be adopted. If one would prefer to sip a warm cup of joe, or a refined pot of tea, one can do so at the cafe, which is separated from the catspace by glass partition. If the temperamental beasts reject your affections, you may ask for wine, sake or beer to ease your pain. Snacks and sweets available as well. Elegant design, art on the wall and yeah, Ben, it's all good.
