One of the very few classic cocktail bars in the city that can make a $15 drink that’s worth every penny.
Excellent little brasserie with chef Paul Lyons (a graduate of Barbuzzo and Jamonera). The substantial $15 steak frites is an early hit. Try the octopus, and say yes to the crispy chickpea flatbread. Read more.
