"What It Is: A tiny French restaurant serving bistro food and natural wine Perfect For: Date Night To the person who wrote us the following email: “Subject: Le French Diner, LES Orchard St Body: Run, don’t walk, it’s a gem. Sent from my iPhone” Thank you. We took your advice, and now we agree. This restaurant is a tiny little place on Orchard Street that looks like it could have been a taco stand in a past life, and serves really excellent French food while a French hip-hop soundtrack plays in the background. Most of the seats are at the counter, where you can watch cooks prepare fantastic octopus or steak, and over which there’s a short menu and wine list written on a chalkboard. Expect a full review on this restaurant sometime very soon. The Verdict: Come here with someone you really like and want to share a bottle of wine with." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
