Faites comme les françaises, and pick up a hot tea or coffee with a golden mini croissant at family-run café Bel Ami  on 68th and Madison. The benches and table outside the café make it a prime spot for people watching or reading a good book. (We sat with a cup of Earl Grey and the great read we can't book down, "Mastering the Art of French Eating" by Ann Mah.)
