About Cafe Select
Cafe Select is worth booking for flexible Soho plans, especially breakfast, lunch, or a casual late stop when convenience matters more than ceremony. Daytime is the stronger use case; for a more formal dinner, compare it with Balthazar or Crosby Bar & Restaurant before choosing.
Cafe Select in New York City is best planned around the few verified practical details available: it keeps long daily hours and has a casual dress code. The schedule starts at 8 AM every day and runs late, with closing at 1 AM on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Sunday, 2 AM on Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Because no verified price, cuisine, menu format, reservation policy, seating count, chef information, or awards are available here, avoid building the plan around assumptions. Treat Cafe Select as a casual New York City option whose strongest confirmed planning value is its broad operating schedule.
Daytime and late-night planning depend on the verified hours
The confirmed hours make Cafe Select useful to consider across a wide span of the day: 8 AM–1 AM on Monday through Wednesday, 8 AM–2 AM on Thursday through Saturday, 8 AM–1 AM on Sunday. Those hours are the reliable detail to use when deciding whether it fits a plan.
What is not verified here is equally important. There is no confirmed information about specific dishes, drinks, cuisine, lunch service, dinner format, takeout, delivery, dietary accommodations, or a special-occasion positioning. Keep the expectation simple and practical rather than assuming a particular style of meal.
Use it when New York City logistics matter more than unverified details
