A crêpe at Cecel's |
Downtown’s New Spot for Designer CrêpesCecil Café Crêpe Opens Wednesday, May 23, 2007 It started with an old friend’s birthday. You headed to the East Village and had too many at Cheap Shots. Things got cloudy and now, you crave dessert. Lucky for you that Cecil Café Crêpe just opened right across the street. The playfully colored hole-in-the-wall offers a refreshingly unique menu of sweet crêpes and savory creations. Consider the delectable crêpe comforts of the Chocolate Banana (banana, chocolate sauce, banana chips and toasted almonds) or the all-American Apple Tatin (apple, caramel sauce, pie and cinnamon powder). Feeling more adventurous? Go with the Red Bean (red bean, sponge cake and soybean powder). An extra 75 cents lets you top any of the cone-shaped crêpes with vanilla, chocolate or green tea ice cream. But if it’s savory you need, check the lower half of the menu. There’s a selection that includes Tofu Cheese Salad, Hijiki Salad and Potato Salad Prosciutto. And Cecel is open late (2 a.m. on weekends, midnight weekdays). So, you can preempt the hangover with classy cuisine instead of burgers. |
