The first time the Belgians landed in New York years ago, it was
politely and quietly with cozy little beer fries-in-paper-cones depots;
this time, the invasion is a little louder and may be part of a
movement—a secret coup to oust bagels and pizza and replace them
with European waffles as the cool snack of choice for downtowners and
nearby NYU students. The specialty at this small shop is Liege waffles
(not to be confused with the Brussels or the Denny's), which are
generally smaller, more potent vis-a-vis their sugar caramelization,
and can be topped with fruit or chocolate. There's also frozen yogurt
and Tavalon teas (a holder from the space's former tenant).
