Terra Cafe (CLOSED)

Nestled in a tiny street just north of Fort Tryon Park, the small, intimate Terra Café boasts a thoughtful Latin-inflected menu and a pulsating Afro-Cuban soundtrack. Have a glass of the zesty house sangria and savor a Brazilian churrasco skirt steak served on a bed of crisp eggplant slices, or sample the modest assortment of tapas. Fresh salads and sandwiches are also available, making this a terrific spot to assemble a picnic before a visit to the nearby Cloisters.
