This is a good note upon which to close out 2007.

My son and I were in Chelsea to check out Banksy over at the Vanina Holasek Gallery and all of a sudden we were waiting at a light, standing in front of a very cool looking café.

La Bergamote was a pleasant surprise.

Comfortable atmosphere. Inviting décor. Fitting music. Mouth-watering pastries. Good layout of seating for conversation or people watching out the window. And a good espresso.

Plus, at least some of the staff speaks French, which came in handy for a couple of the customers while we were there.

Excellent touch, La Bergamote.

La Bergamote – 169 9th Avenue, New York at the corner of West 20th. CE Trains at 23rd Street.
