"You and a client in town from Charlotte bonded over a shared passion for ’80s Billy Joel, and decided to go out after your last meeting. You’re wearing suits, but you want a somewhat sceney space where you won’t get strange looks for pulling out that video of “We Didn’t Start The Fire” in concert after a martini or two. Sit at Locanda Verde’s long bar, order cocktails and some very good pastas, and make friends with other people who enjoy ’80s Billy Joel (a.k.a. everyone)." - matt tervooren
