West Village cafe run by a Swiss photographer, named for his photobook.

David Shama, a Swiss photographer originally from Lausanne, founded Do Not Feed Alligators in New York's West Village and named it after his photobook of the same name.

Single origin coffees come from small roasters, including La Cabra and Prodigal.​⁠​​​⁠⁠​​⁠​​⁠​​⁠​⁠​​⁠⁠​​​⁠​⁠​⁠​​​⁠​​​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​​⁠​

At this shop

The shop is at 337 Bleecker Street in the West Village, behind a white-painted timber shopfront on a red brick building, glazed on two sides to look onto the street. Broken white tile with grey grout runs across the floor and out through the door. A bar at the rear pours cocktails, a corner holds books on photography, architecture and design, and two small tables stand on the sidewalk.​⁠​​​⁠⁠​​⁠​​⁠​​⁠​⁠​​⁠⁠​​​⁠​⁠​⁠​​​⁠​​​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​​⁠​
