New York Café
Gilded, frescoed, gloriously over-the-top — worth the queue once.
SpectacleWorth the crowds
Curator note
It has been called the most beautiful café in the world, and it doesn't argue. Every surface is gilded, frescoed, or dripping with something — it's less a café than a stage set you're allowed to sit in.
Go once, for the room, and make peace with the queue and the prices. Arrive right at opening if you'd like to photograph it without a hundred other people doing the same.
Insider tip
Be at the door when it opens — an hour later the line runs down the street.
