"Smør, a Scandinavian all-day cafe, first opened in the East Village. Now, five years later, the team has opened a much larger space that’s a bakery by day, a full-service restaurant (serving beer and wine with really solid happy hour deals) at night. At dinner, standouts include the schnitzel and sausage with apple chutney, as well as their Danish-style hot dogs — all of which make for hearty options as temperatures drop. Have a nightcap next door at Hartley’s afterward, and then return in the morning to Smør for their signature cardamom buns and coffee." - Emma Orlow
