Restaurant
Cafe Mogador
Cafe Mogador is one of the best contemporary restaurants in New York for cheap eats, especially if you want a strong option in East Village.
Cafe Mogador has been on St. Marks Place, which in East Village years is roughly geologic time. It didn't set out to become a brunch institution and a dinner anchor and a reliable argument for Moroccan-Mediterranean cooking in the same room — it just outlasted everything around it, and the neighborhood eventually caught up to what it was doing. The crowd reflects that longevity: regulars who stopped pretending to cook, people on third dates, NYU professors who treat the back garden like a faculty lounge. Mogador is the kind of place that holds a block together, and the East Village has fewer of those every year.
