"Or the Whale (stylized as or, The Whale and named after the subtitle of Moby Dick) has a cheery and elegant dining room, with embellished white tiles and sea-blue accents. There’s a small but solid cocktail menu featuring classics like the Old Fashioned and Negroni done right, as well as a carefully curated selection of wines by the glass. If it’s a nice evening, opt for a seat on the spacious and charming back patio. Reservations can be made here." - Katie Faust Stryjewski, Eater Staff
