This is the festive little Upper West Side cafe where the characters Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan played in the movie You've Got Mail sat together. With its 1890s Parisian decor and floor-to-ceiling French windows, it is a picture perfect spot for a cup of coffee and dessert. The menu includes a variety of sandwiches, soups and salads. The real draw however is the limitless array of desserts, including more than 30 types of cheesecake and at least as many tarts and pies.
