My son and I decided to spend a beautiful, but windy and chilly day, on the Upper West Side.

We had a pleasant surprise in finding Sip on Amsterdam Avenue.

Technically, it is on the Upper West Side since it is just below 110th. But the atmosphere and vibe seemed to reflect more what is going on in SoHa.

My attention was caught by the front of this small café opening onto the street.

Funky and chill is what comes to mind.

With a closer look, the paintings on the interior, dark rich colors, tiny bar tables and café tables all enticed me even more.

The service was eager. The espresso good. Although I almost did not even know it was there yet. Because I was playing with my son and thought that the ceramic cup on my table was the milk.

Good for a quick café. And by the DJ table to the side of the bar, I imagine there is a night scene as well.

These days, just the café for us though.

Address

Sip – 998 Amsterdam Avenue, New York at 109th Street. 1 or BC Trains at 110th Street.

Music

Serge Gainsbourg - Ford Mustang
