Whynot Coffee & Wine is a hipster writer's paradise. Here you will only ever find the most ironic of hipsters writing in their Moleskine journals, whilst judging hipsters on their Macbooks, who are judging your average mainstream kid.
It's fun to sit here for hours, editing your photos or planning your travels.
Buvette is a cute French cafe which doubles as a wine bar in the heart of West Village. They do great pastries or snack-like breakfasts. I also love their mulled wine with tapas on snowy December days.
It's fun to people-watch from the window-sill or read a book in the back room.
