“Where Can I Be Sexy And Eat Fries By Myself?” - New York - The Infatuation
"Mimi in Greenwich Village feels sexier than it does formal - not unlike a proper one-night stand or John F. Kennedy. The lights are barely on, the dining room only fits 20-ish people, and the handwritten menu changes almost every day. I used to come here with an ex for birthdays and anniversaries. Even though we’ve since broken up, I have chosen to partially numb those memories to keep Mimi in my dining rotation. For your own purposes, sit at the small marble bar up front where you can drink an excellent Negroni or French 75, and decidedly not talk to anyone else. Although you probably won’t find fries on the menu, since the French-leaning dishes rarely resemble classic brasserie food, there are usually snacks available like oysters or crudo." - hannah albertine
