Tucked inside the MetLife Building is this café serving specialty sandwiches and pastas, fresh salads, and pastries and desserts. Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and take-out, Cucina features seasonal specials throughout the year, such as this summer’s Black Pearl Organic Salmon promotion, so there’s always something exciting to be found here.

There are three large tables. The first — elegantly outfitted in lace, fine china and candelabra — is brimming with shrimp, salmon and Chateaubriand. The second table, with pasta and salad, seems nice enough. But the third table is obviously all wrong, featuring a feast of runny soup beside a puny loaf of bread... Relax it's just a game!
