A lovely espresso bar within Locanda Verde in Tribeca. It's refreshing to see restaurants allocate space to the thriving coffee craft while still maintaining the integrity of a concept (nothing says afterthought like a beautiful La Marzocco crammed at the end of a liquor-filled bar). 

Plus, we love design details like the oversized leather straps that secure the chalkboard menu. Well done Ken Friedman and Meyer Davis Studio.
