41 West 58th Street

Sip + Co is a cafe at 41 West 58th Street near Central Park South, where a fast-moving queue gives way to a relaxed, neat interior. The egg and cheese brioche melts the cheese onto the bread to keep the egg in focus, and the spicy turkey sandwich comes on crisp toasted bread. Take a bar stool or a seat in the outdoor front area.
