"Sure, dinner with your ex might involve catching up about work and rehashing a few bitter-sweet memories, but the main reason you agreed to meet is to show them what they’re missing out on. Make a reservation at Holy Ground - an underground spot in Tribeca that feels like a members-only social club from the ’30s. Wear something you know you look good in, sip a martini in a red leather booth as your ex arrives, and you’ll be well on your way. When it’s time to order food, suggest the wagyu brisket or the pork belly topped with chicharron. Explain that they’re like traditional BBQ dishes that have gotten a makeover. Just like you." - matt tervooren
