Le Pain Quotidien South End Ave is the perfect first stop to grab a hot cup of coffee and lunch before taking a stroll down the Battery Park City Esplanade. This charming location welcomes you with a breezy outdoor terrace that makes you feel instantly transported to a rustic European cafe, the only reminder that you are in the pulse of New York City being the clear and beautiful view of the Freedom Tower just across the way.
