"After you spend all summer drinking spritzes in Cafe Spaghetti’s backyard, head around the corner to Swoony’s for the indoor season. The American bistro is Spaghetti’s sister restaurant, and further proof that these people know how to create neighborhood restaurants made for the movies. Swoony’s feels like an extension of the area’s idyllic brownstones, finished in nautical shades of blue and filled with old photos, fine china, and other tchotchkes. Picture-perfect charm aside, it’s the nostalgic comfort food, like short rib au poivre, creamed spinach, and wedge salads that’ll turn you into a regular. They also make an excellent burger." - neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore, carina finn koeppicus
