"Manuscript & Dialogue is all things to all people: a sexy date-night bistro, an elevated pizzeria, a craft cocktail lounge, a beautiful brunch spot, an EDM nightclub, and occasionally a yoga studio. The enormous space has room for it all and polymorphs among its its different identities throughout the clock. By day, it’s local oysters, peach cider-glazed pork belly, bucatini all’amatriciana, and Roman-style pizza al taglio — by former Bar Rosa chef Brandon Barrios — in the front half (“Manuscript”), while the DJs set up shop in the back half (“Dialogue”) on Saturday nights. There’s a sunny little patio and brunch all day on Sundays; they don’t even do dinner service that day, only brunch. Get the banana bread pudding." - Meg van Huygen, Sue Kidd
