Offers views of Central Park from the 3rd floor of the Guggenheim Museum. Good for a short time-out to prevent aesthetic exhaustion, the cafe serves gourmet sandwiches, tarts and espresso drinks, none of which are especially good value. Its best attribute is its modernist architectural bones and B&B museum construction photos.
