ON: A Hired Gun’s Starbucks Substitue

A place to relax, answer e-mail and ideate.

Want a place to sit back have a light lunch, watch beautiful people and occasionally look at your treo phone? 202 Cafe is that place.
202 is located at 75 Ninth Avenue between 15th & 16th.

The scene was perfect for a quiet cool lunch on a hot and sticky day. Situated inside Chelsea Market, designer Nicole Farhi's culinary venture spreads out across the wood-beamed loft that features her clothing and furniture line.

I had the Arugula, lentil , beets and artichoke salad and a delightful desert that featured rhubarb in a tart with a lemon gelato. The service was superb and in the know. The entire experience down to the tab was flawless.  Put Starbucks on the backburner and head over to 202 Café for the perfect bootstrapped day.
