Caffé Barney

Barney's loves Bennies, so much so, the brunch menu is available all day, with an obvious neighborhood following. To survive the weekend line-up of expensive bedheads, grab a coffee next door and cool your heels at the long bar with a paper. Or wait it out and bask on the back deck or the art-filled main room, and be rewarded with simple, but hefty portions of crisp paninis, hearty soups, big salads, beer, and a dinner menu that skews decidedly home-style for the forlorn high-risers of the hood.
