There's more than one reason to stop in SoHo's Swarovski Crystallized store. Incorporated in the long, glittering space full of jewel cases is a small, modern café done in soothing beige tones. Austrian chef Kurt Gutenbrunner designed the tasteful, appealing menu, featuring Caesar salad with slow-cooked egg and crispy Parmesan, spicy goulash soup, spätzle with shrimp and broccoli as well as chicken strudel with marinated leeks, sour cream and chives. There are also a number of beautiful Austrian pastries, tortes and tarts, plus cocktails, if you're in the mood.
