"Like the sun and general happiness, Talula’s Garden is something you probably forgot existed during the winter. But as soon as the weather’s nice again, it’s the only place you want to eat. Their patio is one of the bigger ones in the city and it’s full of trees, plants and twinkly lights that make you feel like you're on the set of a rom com. Order the frosé and ricotta cavatelli, a couple of other dishes from their seasonal, produce-heavy menu, and then stroll Washington Square Park before heading home." - candis mclean, alison kessler
