New Swedish Kafé in Manhattan

WHEN YOU walk into the AQ Kafé at Columbus Circle in New York, you are greeted with an array of Swedish and other Scandinavian delicacies and typical Swedish design featuring blond wood and white, spare interior space. Right away you feel at home and hungry.
EVEN THOUGH the staff may not be Swedish or even know a single word of Swedish, they soon let you know that this place is warm and inviting.
PERHAPS THEY are reflecting the personality of one of the owners of the place, Marcus Samuelsson, who along with Håkan Swahn, is famous for the Aquavit restaurant on 55th Street in Manhattan.
OPENED last September, AQ Kafé is a delight, where you can refresh yourself with hearty soups, tasty sandwiches and great coffee. Of course, you will probably want to treat yourself to a few Swedish pastries before you leave and maybe pick up a loaf of Swedish bread to take home. Perhaps when the restaurant gets its liquor license, they will then also offer beer and other beverages to complement the fine menu.
LOCATED at 1800 Broadway, on Columbus Circle, it's a must stop in any Swede's tour of New York City.
