Update: THIS VENUE HAS CLOSED.
Turn your head to the right, and it all makes sense.
The next time you’re near the NY Public Library, pop into D’Espresso, a coffee bar with a decorative punch. Walls and ceiling are covered with tiles printed with photos of bookshelves, the wall behind the long banquette seating is clad in wood flooring, and a skylight behind the bar boasts pendant lighting mounted horizontally.
Deliciously disorienting.
D'Espresso: 317 Madison Avenue at 42nd St. 212-867-7141
