Kafana

Where To Go When You’ve Eaten Everywhere In The East Village - New York - The Infatuation

"Kafana is not where you go when you want to order a bowl of lettuce and temporarily feel like a deer, a turtle, or something else that eats leaves. This Serbian restaurant is for when you want a heavy, satisfying plate of food that will most likely involve an excessive amount of meat. There’s pork schnitzel, lamb stew, pork neck, and an abundance of other good, meaty things, including a juicy burger stuffed with cheese (and served without a bun). Plus, there are lots of Serbian, Slovenian, and Croatian wine, and the candlelit space is the perfect place to camp out with a few friends for an hour or two." - bryan kim
