Zagat's Tiny Cafe in NYC

Doing some housecleaning before the end of the year and I realized that I never quite finished this post on Zagat's Tiny Cafe in NYC. Back in October (wow...) I lined up for this tiny shack located in the middle of Astor Place (before the Alamo came back) and ate a few select tiny dishes made by real chefs from real NYC restaurants. If you've ever watched those Japanese tiny cooking shows, you know what to expect. Neat, but still hungry.

Here it is! The new Astor Place, home of Tony Rosenthal's Alamo cube which is currently being renovated and set to return to its rightful home sometime next month. If you miss it, you can visit a life-size version of it in Westchester or wait a few more weeks for the cube's triumphant return!
For now, skate to your heart's content at this rare wide-open concrete space!
