Tres Bon!

Enjoy quiche, delicious soup, hearty sandwiches and some European charm? I've got the place for you. Josephine (40 Harrison Street) is a new(ish) French cafe/bakery/wine bar set amongst the many other delicious eateries on Greenwich Street in Tribeca. Look for the quaint red awnings and you'll know you're in the right place. On my first visit I was blown away by their asparagus quiche which came with a refreshing mixed greens salad. My dining partner had a turkey panini and was thrilled with her choice. Upon entering the cafe, you initially think you've been transported to a pastry shop in Paris. You are immediately met by a glass counter fully stocked with croissants, apple turnovers and other delicate pastries and desserts. In true French fashion, you can also pick up some of the best bread around. That would be enough to get me excited, but wait, there's more. Walk further into the cafe and a hostess will ask you if you'd like a table. The answer? Yes, please. You will not be disappointed. Walking across the black and white tiled floor, you can only hope to be seated in one of their tufted banquettes. Either way, Josephine serves as the perfect place to warm up on a cold weekend afternoon, but also a great spot to meet-up for some much needed post-work day wine. Now open all day long, and serving lunch and dinner, there's no reason not to stop into Josephine for every meal of the day. Bon Appetit!
