8. Maman Tribeca

A second, larger location of the French bakery and café Maman has opened in TriBeCa in December. Serving seasonal South of France fare from Michelin-starred chef Armand Arnal in a 2,000-square-foot space with generous 160-foot ceilings. In the front is a casual room with counter service and cozy daybed-like seating.The back dining area, called the salle a manger, has its own bar and can be used for private events. The room has moveable communal tables that seat 40 altogether; the room holds 60 for cocktails. The look mixes vintage and French country styles with exposed whitewashed bricks, dark wood floors, and blue and white accents.
