If there is a city in the United States where you can get where you want at any hour of the day or night, New York is that city. And if there is a restaurant which embodies that New York all-night nature, it's Cafeteria. Opened in 1997 by a trio who saw the pleasure of combining great American food, the quintessential American diner atmosphere and the desire of dancers and dreamers to be able to dine at any hour of the day, this gay-friendly New York restaurant provides good food with convenience to boot. No matter where in the world you hail from, Cafeteria will feel familiar as you slip in to one of the diner-style booths and order food which you might be able to find at home.
The difference between food at home and food at this New York restaurant (besides that you don't have to make it yourself here) is that it's got just a little added progressive touch on those standard dishes. The French Toast is made with croissants, the oatmeal is spiced with bananas and brown sugar and the macaroni and cheese includes fontina with bacon and chives as additional options.
Also different from home (perhaps) is the energy of this New York restaurant which is located in the heart of the thriving Chelsea district. This area is home to artists, actors and trendsetters who take their creative spirits to Cafeteria to have them lifted with a great home-cooked meal. For those whose spirits need more to be lifted, Cafeteria's cocktails are practically a proven cure. The guava margarita and the blood orange martini are just two specialty choices which makes those American meals taste even better than they are.
