"Where can you eat a pizza roll while you stare at someone who got pretty far on The Bachelor? The Corner Store in Soho. This nostalgic American restaurant is acutely sceney and slightly cheesy, but if you’re looking for fries, martinis, and people-watching, it’s a great time. Try to snag a table in the back dining room, and order the steak frites. The Corner Store releases reservations online two weeks in advance at 10am. They do not accept walk-ins for tables, and we learned this the hard way. There is, however, a 13-seat bar near the entrance where you can try to claim a seat. It tends to be packed by 6pm." - willa moore, sonal shah, bryan kim, will hartman
