Why New York Cafe matters
The New York Cafe is famous for its lavish decor, with chandeliers and painted ceilings. It is touristy and expensive, but few cafes anywhere are so grand. Visit at a quiet hour for a coffee, or just step in to look at the interior before deciding whether to stay.
Talking points
- The decor is lavishly ornate.
- It's a big draw so queues are common.
- Cake and coffee are the standard order.
