“The serene, leafy-green alternate universe that is Governors Island… is an absolutely ideal location for the Go Slow Cafe: the island itself is a sort of sedative, slipping you into a dream-like state the second you set foot on it. The Go Slow Cafe capitalizes on that, itself designed and engineered to calm — on two levels, you’re disconnected from the hustle of New York City. You’re asked to give in to the entire concept, to un-hurry, and therein find a true indulgence, a luxury, of slowness,” writes Raphael Brion.
Slow yet attentive service by elderly New Yorkers.
Food portions are determined by the distance travelled to the cafe.
