Take a few minutes to step off of bustling Broadway in SoHo on your next downtown NYC trip, and step into Aroma Espresso Bar, a relaxing coffee bar, where it's easy to waste the rest of the day. Open 24-hours a day, Aroma (perfect for a pre or post Angelika Film Center stop) has everything from basic cappuccinos to Israeli sandwiches, as it's an outpost of the popular Israel-based chain. While Aroma's interiors can be a bit jarring--think lots of red, black, and white--the crowd is a mix of stylish scensters and neighborhood types looking for a place to hide out. Bring your laptop: the WiFi is free and outlets are plentiful, but you might have to wait a bit for a seat if it's crowded. A nice Starbucks alternative with atmosphere and strong coffee.
