Temptations



The hip and relaxed cafe Temptations, located at 80 1/2 Main Street in Nyack New York, is always a huge hangout spot for the local teens. You can spot Temptations out of the main drag, not only by it's red and green awning, but also by the crowd of surrounding kids from around the neighborhood. The decor inside is funky, cool, perfectly messy and makes you feel as if your in someone house, which gives off a relaxed vide. The seating inside is comfy and trendy with a choice of either sitting outside or in. If you choose to sit outside, it's quite small but cute, with vines growing along a brick wall and a small fountain. It's hott and sunny in the summer so make sure to bring your shades. Inside though is open all weekend with the lastest indie bands playing, hand selected by the staff. By the way, the staff is mainly high school and college kids with great senses of style and music.

The food is absolutly amazing. All of the sanwiches are great, with wonderful vegitarian choices some of which include, Fried Plantains as appetizers. There are a variety of drinks, some of which you might not have heard of such as, Izzes, and some other classics such as Stewerts Root Beer. There are also to die for deserts, such as the snickers pie, which I highly recommend. Going there alone is almost easier becasue of the tight seating arrangements, but going in large groups is fun and relaxed, and the staff doesn't mind moving tables together.

So, if your in or around Nyack, especially on a Friday or Saturday night, look for the crowd of kids hanging outside the red and green striped awning and head on inside. Temptations is a hip, refreshing and cool cafe that gives a 'hippieish' vibe. Sit down, grab a sandwich, a seat and listen for the latest hit tracks of todays coolest music. I know you will have a blast.
