cute place to eat/drink alone? rop

[christinaemcc]

i'm going downtown, to have a "date with myself" sorta day.

i just kinda wanna unwind, read a good book and have a nice meal...maybe a glass of wine.

are there any cafes in soho/west village that would be good for that, on the quieter side?

Not a cafe, but Gusto on Greenwich Ave at Perry is cozy and great Italian food. Don't miss the malfatti, a kind of mishapen ravioli with spinach and ricotta. The asparagus salad is awesome too! Great wines by the glass. Enjoy!
