The café’s exterior is adorned with a colorful, vibrant mural that wraps around the entire building, capturing the essence of Puerto Rico’s lush coffee farms, and bringing a visual taste of the island’s natural culture to New York City.

Since my day gig moved offices from Wall Street to Columbus Circle, one of the best perks — besides a close proximity to Central Park — is a huge increase in nearby lunch destinations. Just recently, I added a new place to my cache of favorites: Metro Marché, which just opened in March. I’ve already eaten there twice and I would advise you to forget any local deli, pizza place, or overhyped garbage like Sweet Green, because the food at Metro Marché is just insane.
