Trocadero   

Don't feel like stepping onto an airplane? Be virtually transported to Europe without leaving the city limits at Trocadero. A former corner tap, Trocadero's extensively remodeled interior is more like five places at once. In the morning, the front bar's barista can whip up any number of classic espresso drinks, essential to any continental breakfast. Croissants, baguettes, and made-to-order Belgian waffles and crepes are fresh and delicious. The deli offers several thoughtfully chosen cheeses, pates and meats, which are also used in the cafe's sandwich selections. A Croques Monsieur (smoked ham, Gruyere, tomato and garlic aioli) goes nicely with the house wine, or Gazol, which is served in carafes at every table. The Heineken tower flows at any hour of the day, perfect for people with European schedules. The tabac sells international and domestic magazines and press, as well as upscale tobacco products. Every winter, the heated patio becomes a popular destination for the weather-weary.
