"When we first walked into Davelle, we were a little confused. With its half-burned candles and brick walls decorated with flowers, this small Japanese spot looks like the studio apartment of a person who has seven cats and wears an amulet. But as we drank pet-nats and ate uni-loaded spaghetti while listening to the chef greet everyone who walked in the door, we realized we had found one of those elusive “hidden gems” - a spot that’s well worth a trip from anywhere in the city, even if the people upstairs might never even know it existed." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, matt tervooren
