4 East 7th Street Spots For Coffee, Tea And Drinks In The East Village
Cheap drinks and a classic jukebox set the tone at the tavern's old wooden bar. The same block offers a quieter counterpoint in a tiny Japanese tea room devoted to traditional matcha and tea lessons.


Blue & Gold Tavern pairs cheap drinks with a classic jukebox at 79 E 7th St. An old wooden bar anchors the room, with a few tables along the wall. Expect a wait for the pool table, especially during the Friday and Saturday night rush. On those nights, the tavern stays open until 4 AM.

Abraço serves espresso, lattes and pour-overs with chocolate notes at 81 E 7th St. The compact counter space has limited seating. Baking starts shortly before opening, so the house-baked olive oil cake may not be ready until around 8:40 AM. Savory small plates round out the menu.
