"Nolita is a good meet-in-the-middle neighborhood, but there aren’t too many places in the area that work for this kind of occasion. Fortunately, you only need one, and that’s Epistrophy. This place is open all day, and it works equally well for a lunch/brunch meet-up or a casual dinner. Most dishes cost less than $20, the noise levels are quiet, and the cafe-like space might even make your friend say something along the lines of, “This place is super cute.”" - hannah albertine, bryan kim, neha talreja
