"At night, it gets a little too cramped at Joseph Leonard to have a good, productive meeting, but at lunch it’s a cozy little neighborhood spot on a nice little corner in the West Village. You probably don’t want to come here with a group, but if you’re with one other person you can grab a little table by a window or get some seats at the bar. The food is mostly just American, with things like steak, salads, and sandwiches, and it’s pretty impressive without being fussy or over-the-top. Bring someone you’re already on somewhat friendly terms with, and hang out for a while." - bryan kim, hillary reinsberg
