I went to the Yaffa Cafe last night with an old friend after work. I love this place since it’s fun, not expensive, and you rarely need to wait to sit. Located in the East Village, this spot has a funky vibe and kitsch decor. I am a particular fan of the zebra and flower print walls.

Last night, we got a table right away. I ordered a mushroom crepe with brie. We spent the meal gleefully venting and gabbing. Two Bellinis later, I felt relaxed and content, very happy with our choice of restaurant.
