Not your High School Cafeteria

At Cafeteria, there is no shortage of trendy comfort food. The motto, “You are What you Eat”The restaurant is always crowded and is known for being open 24 hours. The atmosphere, music and open windows bring all Chelsea-ites and Manhattan foodies to this great spot for brunch, lunch, dinner, and late night snacks. You cannot make same day reservations, but the wait isn’t too long, and the bar has a lot of fun drinks that you can try. Totally worth the wait, and a cocktail.

Foodie Rundown:
Macaroni and Cheese Spring Rolls with Smoked Gouda Dipping Sauce – Just imagine if an egg roll had a baby with your favorite mac and cheese, and instead of soy sauce you had a cheesy, delicious, gooey dipping sauce. So yeah, it’s pretty amazing

Since my boyfriend and I were in the mood for something light (that’s a joke right? After we just ate mac and cheese spring rolls) we decided to both get seafood:

Grilled Mahi-Mahi – Crushed Mango, Tortilla Salad, Avocado and Chili Cilantro Aioli – I’m not even lying, my mouth just watered as I was writing this, remembing how fabulous these flavors were together and how delicious this piece of fish was. (See picture)

Roasted Sea Bass – Shaved Artichoke, Radicchio, Reggiano Parmesan, Lemon Truffle Vinaigrette – If you know me, anything truffled is good in my book, fabulous dish! (See Picture)

Drinks:
Aloe Citrus – Bulldgo gin, aloe vera juice, lemon and lime – sounds kinda strange, but for someone who doesn’t even really like Gin, this drink was awesome!
Wildberry Mojito – Cruzan Raspberry Rum, Fresh Muddled Berries, mint and lime – for the sweet tooth, make sure you indulge in this cocktail

Location:
Chelsea – 17th and 7th
