Restaurant — Baby Bistro
The former pop-up, soon-to-be restaurant by chef Miles Thompson and Andy Schwartz. I love a spot that encourages you to fire the menu. I still think about the miso toast. The barber shop space at Hotel Normandie was impractical and temporary, but it was the most charming wabi-sabi space I’ve been to since Mh Zh. Checker floors, wine bottles on ice in the sink… It felt like one big dinner party. I haven’t been able to go to BB’s last three pop-ups. I guess I’m holding out for the Alpine opening.
