"If the words Coke Studio evoke anything for you, you’re going to love Kaafi. At the Harlem chai and coffee shop, a framed TV plays music from the beloved, long-running Pakistani show. Even if you’ve never heard of it (ask a South Asian friend), it’s worth stopping by Kaafi for a cup of coffee or one of their four chai varieties. The place gets crowded around lunchtime, so come early if you just want to use the wifi, an outlet, and nibble on some homemade rusk. Or late—this spot is open from 7am-10pm (and 12am on the weekends)." - sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore
