Café Gitane: Nolita Apéro Hour

Nolita's defining French-Moroccan café. Wine from $9 and sidewalk tables on Mott Street, Mon to Fri 4–6pm.

Café Gitane is the Nolita café that defined the neighborhood's particular aesthetic, French-Moroccan, unhurried, beautiful. The afternoon wine and cocktail hour runs 4 to 6pm with reduced pours and a snack menu of olives, bread, and small plates. The sidewalk tables on Mott Street are worth the wait.
