Cafe ★4.0 (99)·$10–20

1413 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10021, USA

4.0
I was walking on Second Avenue between 74th and 73rd Streets as I was thinking, I’d like something iced and decaffeinated, when I saw Frame which has been in business for three years. Unfortunately, I only just discovered this lovely cafe. On one walk hangs over thirty 35 millimeter camers! And on the opposite wall a few vintage cameras including an old 16 millimeter movie camera, an Instamatic along with a Brownie camera. For folks like myself, Frame brings back lots of memories from the pre-digital world! And their coffee is great! - Arthur Glauberman
