"Every neighborhood deserves a sweet, mid-week date restaurant like Old Pal, with a pretty bar for solo dining, oysters on the half shell, and a stellar cocktail menu and by-the-glass list. The food menu here changes constantly, but most visits can include the restaurant’s airy Gruyere gougeres, a briny-tangy plate of house pickles, some seasonal preparation of gooey burrata, and the restaurant’s pillows of ricotta gnocchi. For dessert, the ice creams are made in house." - Katrina Yentch
