Stumptown Coffee Roasters
CAFE
Hipster baristas in fedora hats brewing killer coffee? No, you're not in Williamsburg,
you're at the Manhattan outpost of Portland's most celebrated coffee roaster. The queue is
a small price to pay for proper espresso in Midtown, so count your blessings. It's
standing-room only, though weary punters might find a seat in the adjacent Ace Hotel
lobby.

Robert
Perched on the 9th floor of the Museum of Arts & Design, '60s-inspired, pink-tastic
Robert is technically a high-end, modern American restaurant. Ditch the food and head in
late afternoon or post-dinner, find a sofa and gaze out over Central Park with a MAD
Manhattan (Bourbon, Blood Orange Vermouth and liquored cherries).
