Café Charbon:
Imagine going to Paris without having to apologize for boy bands, Florida, and American beer. Therein rests the charm of Café Charbon. The owners have done a great job giving Café Charbon a warm character you could only wish to find in every other bar in NYC or gay Paree. A cute French bar with a restaurant attached, the employees seem happy to be there and happy you’re there as well. The bar food menu consists solely of wee plates and the drink selection is nothing extraordinary, but the prices are reasonable and the setting makes for a great after-work haunt, date spot, or just an all-night blowout.
We stumbled on this bistro before going to a L.E.S. comedy show - what a nice stumble! Great coq au vin, boeuf filet mignon; wine by the glass drinkable and affordable; staff was great - accommodating but not cloying. Overall price - 3 of us out for $120, including wine and tip. Not bad!

The café is small but nice and intimate. I come here with friends often but like it much better with a date. The drinks are moderately priced and very good.
