"You know how French people only eat baguettes and cheese and still manage to be way skinnier than all of us? We like Cafe Gitane because it helps us pretend, even just for a couple hours, that we’re one of those people. It’s why we end up ordering the prosciutto on baguette, or baked feta, or goat cheese. But if you have a better grasp on reality, this Moroccan/French spot has healthier things like salads, simple proteins, and lighter egg dishes. And avocado toast - they were actually one of the first restaurants in NYC to serve it." - katherine lewin
