Cafe Medi - LES, NYC

This was our second visit with baby Karina. It's never crowded, which is a good and bad thing. Good because Karina can literally crawl around wherever she pleases without fear of tripping waiters, but bad, because I really want this place to be around for a long time and it needs customers to do so. However I may have confirmation bias because we always go at off hours (since baby arrived dinner is sometimes a 5pm affair). 

The food here is hands down some of the best I've had in NYC. The prices range $15-$30 for an entree and around 10 bucks for a cocktail. Our most recent trip was during brunch and we ordered the French Toast, Banana Pancakes, Chicken Paillard and the Burger (there were 4 of us so no, my wife and I are not gluttons). 

The Banana Pancakes are a must. Crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. This juxtaposition of textures enhanced its incredible taste. We could have done without the chicken, but not the French Toast, another must-have dish. The burger was solid.

The interior has high ceilings with a skylight that makes the space feel even larger. The music selection is modern and the murals on the wall make for a very cool vibe. 

Needless to say they are very baby friendly.
