A group of Dames — members of Les Dames d’Escoffier New York (LDNY — met at Holiday Cocktail Lounge to sample their new coffee offerings, introduced late last fall starting at 8 am daily. The service includes coffee, espresso beverages with coffee from local Superlost Coffee, tea, and juice.

We all wanted to support LDNY’s President, Barbara Sibley, who is Creative Director of Holiday and  Chef/Owner of  La Palapa Restaurant Group. La Palapa, her authentic Mexican restaurant is right next door. 

Also available are freshly made pastries, breakfast items, and sandwiches. While there, we sampled plain and chocolate croissants, lemon squares, large pretzels and pasteis de nata — the Portuguese custard tarts, with a flaky crust and sweet custard filling.

The space is wifi friendly, with indoor and patio seating, weather permitting. Traditional cocktail service starts at 4 pm. They will be introducing dating games, entertainment and music, coffee status stickers as conversation starters, and a walking club around East Village. Do check it out.
