Abraço
$
CAFE
With hardly room to move - let alone sit - Abraço is an East Village refuge where good
coffee and good taste combine to form one of the finest cafes in the entire city. Slurp your
perfectly crafted espresso while inhaling a slice of delicious olive cake. If you're stopping
by with a friend you'll each need to order a slice - fights are known to break out over the
last bite.
