"Bistro Monadnock can be tricky to spot since its entrance is located on a tiny street that feels more like a glorified alley. But the low-key location means this charming French restaurant is never that busy, so you can generally walk in for some rich bouillabaisse by the open kitchen or to snack on escargot at the bar. The friendly service—from a chef who might give you a tour of the dry-ager to servers happy to chat about how to correctly pronounce “Monadnock”—will also help you like people again after that crowded, 103-story elevator ride." - john ringor
