Lafayette St is fast becoming a fashionable foodie’s Mecca with restaurants like La Esquina and Café Falai based there and now Café Select. Opened in September 2008, Café Select brings a breath of fresh Alpine air to New York with its Swiss-influenced menu, prepared using the freshest ingredients. Restaurant-goers might not be familiar with Swiss food beyond fondue, milk chocolate and cheese, but this restaurant serves a series of different specialties built up over centuries and influenced by the many countries surrounding landlocked Switzerland. Have a relaxing brunch with delicious salads and sandwiches on offer. Take in the scene whilst enjoying dinner at Café Select – the menu includes more filling mains, such as the classic Schnitzel.
