"The word ‘nice’ has a bad rep. It’s a word you use to describe people you go on exactly two dates with and never speak to again. But Cadet, a matchbox-sized Newington Green wine bar, is just so… nice. The smiles are large, the European-leaning plates are small, and the servers are always ready to top up your glass with something crisp and fizzy. Never underestimate the cortisol-dropping potential of lazily spreading mousse de canard while you scroll through Uniqlo’s fresh drop of cashmere beanies on your phone." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
