You will wonder how you can ever justify paying as much for a bagel as the Algiers is asking, or for a pot of peppermint tea. However, if you are a Euro-junkie or, often, a foreign student who misses home, or perhaps if it is a snowy afternoon and you want to hide somewhere around people, you might just pony up the three or four dollars. The upstairs is fun, even better since smoking was outlawed (although this sadly means you can no longer rent a hookah with apple scented tobacco, sigh). It gets VERY LOUD so don't come here for serious studying unless it's the off hours; people are gabbing and having a good time.
