Café Chelsea 7.9

Vibes: Date Night Magic Girls Night Out Approved Instagram Worthy Wonders Trendy Table Hotspots
A buzzy Hotel Chelsea bistro where steak frites is the move and the fries are the reason to linger. Expect a crisp, buttery exterior with a soft center, leaning French-classic rather than bar-snack heavy. Atmosphere does a lot of the work, but the fries hold their own.
Must-Try Dishes: Steak Frites, Chelsea Cheeseburger with Fries, Goat Cheese Croquettes
