The staff at Cafe Presse doesn’t merely tolerate its late-night crowd, they cater to it. Sure, the restaurant serves whiskey and wine all day, but it’s in the nightcap hours after a show that Presse really flexes. Want an omelet at 1 a.m.? No problem. Chocolate croissant with your Tanqueray martini? Of course. Best of all, you won’t be dining alone. The word is out: The vibrant chatter of late-night diners gives the room the energy of a nightclub, but at a volume that permits healthy end-of-evening conversation and scheming.
