Where To Go With Someone Who’s Cooler Than You
"Sometimes you might think Brassica in JP tries a little too hard to be cool. It’s a place where, if the table next to you is empty, your server will either casually lean against it while talking to you, or even sit down, as if to say “remember, I’m not a normal server, I’m a cool server.” But it isn’t entirely a put-on. It’s the product of a place that makes great food in a casual atmosphere, where the owner might stop at your table to let you know that the kitchen’s working out a new empanada dish tonight, and if any are plate-worthy he’ll send one your way. And if you really want to have fun, for $100 you can do a tasting of each of the 19 small plates on the menu." - dan secatore
