"Sofi Corner is a chameleon. During the day, the French-Moroccan cafe in Washington Square West is one of our first choices for coffee and pastries. But at night, the glowy yellow dining room reaches “Let’s Get It On” levels of sex appeal. Bring someone who already knows embarrassing things about you and plan to share couscous, tangy zaalouk salad, and buttery lamb tagine." - candis mclean, alison kessler
