The Great Jones Cafe is unimpressive from the outside... so go inside. This tiny place has character to spare and quite simply feels like the cafes of the Big Easy. Though we had to wait 15 minutes to sit, we were able to enjoy a cold Abita Amber at the bar and browse the menu (which is painted on the wall). To eat we had the Booya Gumbo and Jambalaya, both specials of the day. The gumbo was dark, runny and savory with a hint of spice, perfectly complimented by the thin slices of fresh French bread that accompanied it. The jambalaya was sticky and rich, but had disproportionate amount of rice to meat. Both were very flavorful and reasonably priced. The Great Jones is certainly a restaurant to visit if youre in NYC.
Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Price
