"Dirty French is from the same people who own Carbone, and the two restaurants have a few things in common. They’re both fun spots where you can show off that jacket you feel awkward wearing to casual places, and where you’ll spend your tax refund on Champagne and the raw bar before appetizers even hit the table. That being said, Dirty French still isn’t quite as expensive as Carbone, it serves French/North African food rather than Italian, and you can get a reservation without having to commit to dinner a month in advance." - bryan kim, katherine lewin, matt tervooren
