I went in on opening day and met the friendly couple from Slovakia who run the place, Jan and Andrea Balascak. Andrea is also the café’s executive chef. Before opening Slimák, they were part-owners of Newsbar on University Place in Manhattan. Now they have their own place (in addition to staying on with Newsbar), in a neighborhood Andrea describes as “like a vacation” compared to that one near Union Square. “We want to bring the neighborhood together,” she told me. ![]() “We are very personal with the customers, and become a big family and friends. Slimák is the Slovak word for snail, and also the last name of Andrea’s grandfather, who watches over the café from a framed photograph on the wall. She wants customers to feel like they are family, too. I’ll admit: I’m not the most gregarious customer. I often want to be left alone to read and write with coffee at a well-lit table. They notice my Beavis & Butthead Doc Martens, and help me out when I’m running late for work and in need an extremely quick and delicious sandwich.īut I look forward to saying hello to Jan and Andrea.
