restaurants

a list of my current favorites. some i work with, most i don’t. i know some of the owners, don’t know others. sometimes, i like them for specific reasons, which i’m happy to share w/you or in a few cases, am compelled to note below. i like a lot more than this, but these are just the ones i keep going back to lately, probably b/c some combination of the food, service and ambiance (but often not all 3) is great. i just noticed how many have the word “bar” in them. hm.
