Jack’s Wife Freda, New York City
The history behind Jack’s Wife Freda is the perfect summer love story: Maya and Dean Jankelowitz, the owners, met while working at Balthazar and opened the café after the birth of their first son.

And the hand doodled menus and rosewater waffles are just as soothing as the love story. instagram.com
