We visit this historic restaurant which operated from 1983-2018 as the Great Jones Cafe, serving Cajun/Creole food (swipe left for old photo showing the original interior and menu board). The #cafe interior has been completely redesigned and the menu now is seafood-focused. The exterior #storefront of @the_jonesnyc remains the same and there still is the #elvispresley bust in the window and the neon EAT sign!
• To see the newly remodeled interior and the delicious filet-o-fish sandwich served with American cheese and tartar sauce that we had, please watch and subscribe to our JamesandKarla YouTube channel (direct link in bio and Instagram story).

Notable buildings seen in our NYC #skyline view include City Hall, One World Trade Center, Woolworth Building, 40 Wall Street. 8 Spruce Street aka Gehry Building, One Wall Street, Manhattan Municipal Building, 23 Park Row, Beekman Residences and One Manhattan Square.
One of the reasons we chose this apartment in the East Village over 20 years ago, was for its amazing south facing views of the Downtown Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn including the Williamsburg Bridge, Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge. We also loved the preponderance of water towers in our view, something that is uniquely New York City.
We hope you enjoyed our sunset view just as much as we do!
