The buzzy heart of Midtown Manhattan may seem like the last place you'd look for some slowed-down, European-style repose, but that's exactly what you'll find at Lodi, the new-ish all-day café, bar, bakery, and restaurant from Estela and Altro Paradiso's beloved chef Ignacio Mattos.

Inspired by Italian "caffè" and "aperitivo" culture, the hybrid destination, located inside a shiny Art Deco space at 1 Rockefeller Plaza, has already garnered a deserved amount of foodie fanfare since making its debut in September.
