A Park Avenue corner, open all day
Cafe Sasso sits on the corner of Park Avenue, a few doors from everything else worth walking to. Inside there are sofas, local artwork on the walls and enough tables to sit and stay; outside there are seats on the sidewalk from the first warm day to the last.
It is the kind of place people come to twice in one day — a cup on the way in, something with gin in it on the way home.

Good to know
- Open seven days a week, 8 am to 8 pm
- Sidewalk tables when the weather allows
- Dogs welcome outside
- Free parking, step-free entrance, accessible restroom
