Barclay Street Cafe is a small cosy cafe with large windows perfectly facing the sun and street view. They have a nice selection of drinks and health food. I have only tried Chai latte here and it is worth trying. Most people around me had a pizza slice, and definitely I'm trying it next time. If you are in this corner of busy street and want to be still in time, then visit this cafe.

Beautiful open space, great views, pleasant staff. Starbucks food and coffee. Conveniently located near to the World Trade Center group of buildings and parks, and near the ACE and 2 MTA Subway lines. It is a part of the Burrough of Manhattan College and it is open to the public.

It has a great view of the plaza in front of WTC 7 and is the only straight forward cafe in the immediate area. Croissant was perfect and the coffee good.

Yes, this is NYC so, it's going to be expensive especially in a luxury hotel. They have a "west coast" burger that has 2 patties and lots of toppings while they have the "east coast" burger that is basically a basic burger. The fries are shoestring type that I thought were great! The restaurant is next to the bar and rather casual with a couple tvs to watch the game if one is playing. They may have a more fancy restaurant although, I didn't see it.
