Mustafa's place was a refuge during a very hot July visit to NYC. The location was great, about 2 1/2 blocks from the 7 train. The people running the nearby shops were very friendly and all know Mustafa. A short distance away, there are a lot of great dining options near Roosevelt Avenue, including cuisines that are not easy to find in most towns I've been to (Nepali, for example). It was a great base from which to explore the expanses of NYC, but there is quite a bit nearby to experience too.
