Description

This social space draws a steady crowd of regulars despite its busy Midtown location. Along with art-adorned walls, the draw is a kitchen serving fluke, octopus, burrata, and smoked salmon crostini, alongside hearty plates of pasta and mussels. The weekly rhythm is anchored by daily happy hours and a Sunday night 'Finish the Bottle' event, making it a quiet, unhurried alternative to busier neighborhood bars.
