replying to u/BeautifulComplaint81: Damn this is super.cool love their duck ragu pasta. Will have to bring a bottle next time
“Honestly one of the best pasta dishes I've had in the city the duck was rich but not heavy, and the pistachio gave it this nutty finish. Their polenta fritters are also sneaky good as a starter.”

replying to u/Sufficient-Cell-8813: Union Square Cafe. A classic, but I went for the first time. Every dish was the best version of itself that I've had in my life. Plus, the atmosphere and service are 10s.
