In November, Soho's popular French-Moroccan mainstay Cafe Gitane opened up a new location in the controversial Jane Hotel. Things started out slowly with breakfast and lunch, but now the cheery cafe is open for dinner, starting tonight. The West Village outpost, which boasts lovely views of the Hudson River, is serving many of the favorites from the original Mott Street location, such as the appetizing Smoked Trout Salad with black lentils, walnuts, arugula, dried cranberries, avocado, goat cheese, cherry tomatoes, shallots and vinaigrette ($14).
But there are also new dishes, such as Hachi Parmentier, organic ground beef, mashed potatoes, garlic and cream ($13). The reasonably-priced wine list ranges from $7 by the glass (a 2007 Bordeaux) to $36 for a bottle of St Emilion 2004 (Chateau Haut Piquat) Bordeaux; there is also a full bar. And if all else fails, Foosball. Peruse the menu below.
