"It’s always useful to know about a spot where you can get a plate of pasta, some hummus, or a nice piece of fish. If you’re in the West Village, that place is Meme. The food isn’t flashy, but it’s solid and packs wide appeal (tuna tartare, paella, kebabs, etc.), and it’ll get the job done when you’re wandering around the West Village wondering where you can sit and eat things without having to wait for several hours in order to get seated. Stop by with someone you need to catch up with, or bring your parents and make some small talk in the homey space while you eat a chopped salad." - Bryan Kim
