The Cloister Cafe

East Village

Step through an unmarked doorway and find yourself in a Gothic garden fantasy, complete with stained glass salvaged from a nearby church and actual gargoyles watching over your hookah session. The outdoor courtyard feels worlds away from the East Village bustle.

Gothic-themed spaces
Medieval decor
Stained glass windows
Authentic gargoyles
