Live jazz music on Sunday nights, super cool decor and people. A great bar that's also family friendly for dinner. Usually pretty busy around peak meal times.

$1 cash coffee -- they make it as an Americano, fresh every time from the espresso machine. The servers mostly only speak Spanish, but can understand English. You can go straight to the bar to order, no need to sit.

The B & C trains stop here. We don't use this station as much because you have to walk down a big flight of stairs in the park. GREAT for when you have time for a nice walk, as the park is beautiful.
