  i think cafe puccini fits the bill: you can go there for breakfast and have toast or a pastry and a beautiful cappucino, go there for lunch and have a delicious anitpasta and another beautiful cappucino, or go there for dinner and have excellent not exorbinant pasta and a beer or a glass of vino. you can sit outside if it's nice, and they've got opera on the jukebox. it's about midway between city lights and washington square: now i ask you, what's not to like?

    I agree with Cafe Puccini, totally. Aother idea is Tomasso's on Kearny, right off Broadway, if you're in that area.
