Known forspecialty coffeesiphondowntownhotel cafe

From one of the most influential figures in American specialty coffee, this sleek downtown cafe is a pilgrimage site for serious coffee drinkers. The siphon coffee and meticulously prepared pour-overs are extraordinary. It's pricier than most and the hotel lobby setting can feel slightly impersonal.
