笔补惫茅 鈥� a little Brazilian caf茅 with a sunroof, great pour overs, and sweet snacks. (Two blocks away, on 46th St).

Church of Sweden 鈥� literally a church, but with food. The place was built in 1921 and housed the Bible Society that created the NIV (New International Version) of the Bible. In 1978, the international Church of Sweden bought the place, and today it has a caf茅 on the ground floor that sells the best crepes (鈥淪wedish pancakes鈥�) and cardamom buns in town. (four blocks north, 48th st).

Ground Central 鈥� this place is a chain, but it has a cool book selection and they pull a good espresso. There is also a nice plaza outside, giving you a view of some eye-catching pop art. (one block away, on 45th St).

Sozai 鈥� best Japanese restaurant in the neighborhood. Amazing Tonkatsu Ramen & solid lunch specials. (one block away, on 45th St).

M谩L脿 Project 鈥� Chinese restaurant with incredible dry pot. Make your own. Consider adding lotus root and cilantro. Add the Shanghai-style rice cakes (Nian Gao) or the glass noodles to fill up! (two blocks away, 46th St).

Jumieka Grand 鈥� hungry for curry goat or oxtail? Or just want a cool upstairs casual lounge for a drink? Take a 12 minute walk SE and check out the best Jamaican joint in Manhattan. (6 blocks away, Lexington Ave just south of 40th St).

New York Public Library, Stephen Schwarzman Building 鈥� this is the famous one with the lions out front. Take a selfie, then head inside, push straight back and climb the stairs. Bring a book to show the guard and tell them you are 鈥渉ere to study鈥� 鈥� that is the secret passcode that allows you to go into the grand reading room (even if you really just want to take a picture and bask in the glory).

NYPL, Niarchos Library 鈥� across the street (diagonally) from the Schwarzman building is the Niarchos, which is some seven stories tall and has plenty of study space. Go with a friend and complete a puzzle with the first floor, or take the elevator to the penthouse and grab a coffee from their shop while you enjoy the view.
