If you’re in the mood for something different and just want a place to grab a quick bite and something to warm you up as you continue your day, try stopping by Hole in the Wall to grab a quick bite and have an Aussie-style coffee experience. Tucked away in the lobby of an office building, it can literally be considered a “hole in the wall,” but is known for its excellent coffee and baked goods.

When it’s cold outside, there’s nothing better than hot, piping mac ‘n cheese to help you brave the weather and give your insides a good, warm thaw.

Made with twisted macaroni noodles, gouda béchamel and a New York flair, you’ll have plenty of sustenance to stick to your bones as you head back out into the chill. A hit in the Midtown area, they have multiple locations in Manhattan.
Whether you’re visiting or a native, finding good places to enjoy a treat even in the cold weather months can be fun. Now you can add three new places to your list of go-to spots where the weather won’t even seem to matter.
