Blink and you'll miss it
The Food Leprechaun strikes again.
We found SoHo’s 10-seat Snack by walking in front of it -- all three paces of the facade’s width. The name is odd for a sit-down Greek restaurant, but it’s a perfect lunch spot: The hummus is deep-flavored, brightened by lemon, and there’s a fish roe spread that’s pure sea-salty goodness.
Two doors down, there’s an even tinier establishment – Porto Rico Importing – a four-seat coffee shop with three beautiful ladies holding court on a bench out front. We sit with them, sip an espresso and watch the world go by.
