Retro caboose diner with cozy booths and chummy waiters who memorize the changing menu and pull up a chair to scribble it on your tablecloth. The specials are out of this world. The hipsters are to dine for.
At last the UWS sticks it to its foodie neighbors to the south. Chef Bill Telepan serves seasonal cuisine in an elegant and comfortable atmosphere. Of course, no scene in sight — but that’s okay (if not preferred).
A pastiche of Nicole Farhi’s Notting Hill store of the same name, the lifestyle shop is strewn with antiques from Paris, and the resto’s communal table is rumored to be a relic from a French prison. Don’t miss the brunch.
