Bar Oliver

“I’ve been forgetting that with age comes sophistication, so going to a wine bar like Bar Oliver in ‘two bridges’ reminded me I’m not just a frump-toddler mom (weeks away from turning 36-40). I’m also a person who loves atmosphere and wants to feel like Chinatown is an uninitiated Paris arrondissement! The Spanish tapas and minimal table seating means this place isn’t for the faint of heart. You should plan on bringing a close friend to get sauced or share the whole menu with a four top.”
