We found Cafe D’Alsace on a google search for a croquet madam. On 2nd Ave at about 88th Street we had a freezing cold walk up. We weren’t certain we would get a table having called ahead and being told there were no tables nor do they take reservations.

When we arrived half the tables were available and we tucked into a nice corner. A croque that was fairly tasteless, Friesee Lardon for Brad with two poached eggs that he enjoyed and a chocolate tart which was delicious and interesting.

I might go back but I would order a burger, the fries were very good.
