"Because of the quaint wallpaper and wall molding, Homer looks like it could be the lobby of a luxurious bed and breakfast in The Hamptons. But actually, it’s a restaurant. Pita smells come from the big oven in the back, and there’s a great lineup of mezze (get the lamb ragu on tahini) and bigger meat dishes to pick and choose from. If there’s a wait, start with a cocktail, or show your date that you’re spontaneous and have dessert before dinner from their soft serve window by the front door." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
