Café Standard

Find comfort food at this café-bar inside the Standard Hotel's laid-back East Village sibling. Outfitted with hanging plants and blue leather chairs, the lofty 40-seat space serves globally influenced dishes: a Peruvian roasted-chicken sandwich, escarole topped with feta and olives, and french fries with a stout-beer mustard. Along with nine craft brews (Smuttynose, Left Hand Brewing Company), there are cocktails like the Martinez (gin, sweet vermouth, maraschino cherry) and the Barely Legal (tequila, Scotch, smoked agave).
