"Chez Ma Tante is impressive in an understated sort of way, and so are you. Or maybe you aren’t, but you’re trying to be. Either way, book a table at this neighborhood spot in Greenpoint, order a caesar salad and some pork shoulder, and smile in a non-creepy way while your date tries to figure out if you’d be a suitable long-term romantic partner. It isn’t too hard to get a table here, despite the fact that the food is excellent, and the space is clean, minimalist, and grown-up without feeling stuffy." - Bryan Kim
