- TTataVIPNew York City •8 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoCL is an old gem. In fact, I can't even remember the first time I went, and recently, started going there for breakfast. Service is always great (was exceptionally great today) and food is never disappointing. It's a rare eatery in NYC that has survived and thrived. I saw today it was voted one of the best by Vogue but I did not need that confirmation. Please stay wonderful as you are.More infoCafe LuxembourgPrice: Expensive• French American• Upper West Side•4.8
